Unraveling the Supramolecular Organization Mechanism of Chiral Star-Shaped Poly(3-alkylthiophene) KU Leuven
The supramolecular organization of star-shaped polythiophenes was investigated in a solvent/nonsolvent system and upon cooling. Both systems yield entirely different supramolecular aggregates. Classical characterization techniques can give some insight; the exact mechanism is currently not understood. By introducing second- and third-harmonic light scattering and its combination with other optical techniques, we were able to fully investigate ...
