(a) Synthetic approach for the preparation of the calamitic side-chain liquid crystal polymer PTO based on oxadiazole derivative side groups. (b) SAXS pattern of the calamitic side-chain liquid crystal polymer PTO at 25 °C upon cooling from the isotropic state. (c) Schematic view of the lamellolamellar structure consisting of alternating double sub-layers of oxadiazole calamitic derivatives and polythiophene sub-layers. (d) Typical output and transfer characteristics of a top-contact bottom-gate OFET based on the polymer PTO. SAXS, small-angle X-ray scattering.
