Muruganathan Ramanathan,S. Michael Kilbey,S. Michael Kilbey,Qingmin Ji,Jonathan P. Hill,Katsuhiko Ariga +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the potential developments in various aspects of confined spaces for molecular self-assembly under one roof is presented, including topological, geometrical, chemical and biological confinements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Performance Consistency in Nanoparticle/TIPS Pentacene-Based Organic Thin Film Transistors
Zhengran He,Kai Xiao,William Durant,Dale K. Hensley,John E. Anthony,Kunlun Hong,S. Michael Kilbey,Jihua Chen,Dawen Li +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, inorganic silica nanoparticles are used to manipulate the morphology of 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)-pentacene (TIPS pentacene) thin films and the performance of solution-processed organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs).
Journal ArticleDOI
Conjugated Polymer-Mediated Polymorphism of a High Performance, Small-Molecule Organic Semiconductor with Tuned Intermolecular Interactions, Enhanced Long-Range Order, and Charge Transport
Jihua Chen,Ming Shao,Kai Xiao,Zhengran He,Dawen Li,Bradley S. Lokitz,Dale K. Hensley,S. Michael Kilbey,John E. Anthony,Jong K. Keum,Adam J. Rondinone,Wen-Ya Lee,Sanghyun Hong,Zhenan Bao +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the conjugated polymer additives, used with a slow solution crystallization approach, yield crystal structures that are not accessible by nonconjugated polymer additive and impart excellent long-range order.
