Long-range polymer ordering by directional coating to remarkably enhance the charge carrier mobility in PCDTPT-based organic field-effect transistors.

With the wide potential of organic field-effect transistors in all the modern electronic circuitries, researchers are grappling with the challenge of poor charge transport and hence lower mobility in organic polymers.
