TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that introducing tunable nanopores (50-700 nm) to organic semiconductor thin films enhances their reactivity with volatile organic compounds by up to an order of magnitude, while the surface-area-to-volume ratio is almost unchanged.

TL;DR: The concept of dynamic templating to expedite polymer nucleation and the ensuing assembly process, inspired by biomineralization templates capable of surface reconfiguration is proposed, and it is demonstrated that the charge transport anisotropy can be reversed by tuning the degree of polymer backbone alignment.

TL;DR: It is found that decreasing the substrate surface energy progressively increases thin film crystallinity, degree of molecular ordering, and extent of domain alignment, which is a significant step toward establishing design rules and understanding the critical role of substrates in determining morphology of solution-coated thin films.

TL;DR: The formation of distinct interfacial morphology is attributed to the skin-layer formation associated with high Peclet number, which promotes crystallization on the top interface while suppressing it in the bulk, and the interfacial fibril alignment is driven by the extensional flow on theTop interface arisen from increasing solvent evaporation rate closer to the meniscus front.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the surface doping effect can be fundamentally manipulated by controlling the molecular orientation of the OSC layer, enabling optimization of carrier transport.
