Intrachain and Interchain Excited-State Dynamics of Temperature-Dependent Aggregation Copolymer in Solution

Guangliu Ran et al.

Summary: This study investigated the temperature-dependent aggregation properties of PBDB-T in solution. It was found that PBDB-T formed strong interchain interactions facilitating aggregation at lower temperatures, while higher temperatures caused the polymer to coil and increase intrachain interactions, thus reducing aggregation. The temperature-dependent aggregation behavior also had an impact on the excited-state dynamics.
