Mechanically Robust Poly(ionic liquid) Block Copolymers as Self-Assembling Gating Materials for Single-Walled Carbon-Nanotube-Based Thin-Film Transistors.

ABSTRACT: The proliferation of high-performance thin-film electronics depends on the development of highly conductive solid-state polymeric materials. We report on the synthesis and properties investigation of well-defined cationic and anionic poly(ionic liquid) AB-C type block copolymers, where the AB block was formed by random copolymerization of highly conductive anionic or cationic monomers with poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate, while the C block was obtained by post-polymerization of 2-phenylethyl methacrylate. The resulting ionic block copolymers were found to self-assemble into a lamellar morphology, exhibiting high ionic conductivity (up to 3.6 × 10^-6 S cm^-1 at 25 °C) and sufficient electrochemical stability (up to 3.4 V vs Ag⁺/Ag at 25 °C) as
