We crosslinked polythiophenes with disiloxane groups in its side chains by dicumyl peroxide. The crosslinked polythiophenes maintained low glass transition temperatures and low Young’s modulus, while they emerged high elastic recoveries. Moreover, as the concentration of dicumyl peroxide increased, the crosslinked polythiophenes possessed higher elastic recoveries. We obtained completely elastic semiconductive polythiophenes.
