Additional information

Thiophene-based polymers are the most important organic semiconductors because of their high performance and ease of process. However, their poor ambient stability has significantly limited industrial applications. This work first identified the critical role of thiophene interface and then demonstrated a novel UV treatment process that increased its lifetime by three orders of magnitude. Featured in the EPSRC IMPACT case study, "The future of electronics" April 2010, the work has been taken up by many groups, e.g. CNRS, France (DOI: 10.1002/app.35074), Georgia Tech (DOI: 10.1063/1.4705277), Univ Calif Santa Barbara (DOI: 10.1002/adma.201103513), and Univ Missouri (DOI: 10.1007/s00339-011-6596-5).
