Page "Polythiophene" Paragraph 22

More recently, poly ( 3 -( perfluorooctyl ) thiophene ) s soluble in supercritical carbon dioxide were electrochemically and chemically synthesized by Collard et al.

Finally, unsubstituted oligothiophenes capped at both ends with thermally-labile alkyl esters were cast as films from solution, and then heated to remove the solublizing end groups.

Atomic force microscopy ( AFM ) images showed a significant increase in long-range order after heating.
