TL;DR: A new measurement technique, resonant critical-dimension small-angle X-ray scattering (res-CDSAXS), is developed, to evaluate the 3D buried features inside the film and enable a better understanding of the fundamental physics behind the formation of buried features in DSA BCP films.

TL;DR: The first synthesis of a fused germaindacenodithiophene monomer and its polymerisation with 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole by Suzuki polycondensation is reported and the resulting polymer, PGeTPTBT, is semicrystalline, despite the presence of four bulky 2-ethylhexyl groups.

TL;DR: In this paper, the application of 1H spin diffusion nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is expanded to polymer-fullerene blends for bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic photovoltaics (OPV) by developing a new experimental methodology for measuring the thin films used in poly-3-hexylthiophene-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT-PCBM) OPV devices and by creating an analysis framework for estimating domain size distributions.

TL;DR: In this article, the microstructure of TQPP-12 was characterized using a combination of polarized photon absorption spectroscopies (X-ray, vis, and infrared), X-ray diffraction, and scanning probe techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructure evolution of 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic bis-benzimidazole (PTCBI) thin films resulting from conditions imposed during film deposition is examined.
