Semi-conducting 2D rectangles with tunable length via uniaxial living crystallization-driven self-assembly of homopolymer

Abstract

Semi-conducting two-dimensional polymer nanoobjects are promising materials but examples of self-assembled 2D nanosheets with controlled dimensions has not been shown before. Here, the authors precisely tune the length of 2D sheets of conjugated polymers by using blending, heating, and seeded-growth strategies.
