Thin-Film Transistors: Directional Solution Coating by the Chinese Brush: A Facile Approach to Improving Molecular Alignment for High-Performance Polymer TFTs (Adv. Mater. 34/2017)

Directional solution coating using the Chinese brush provides a facile approach to fabricate highly oriented polymer thin films, by finely controlling the wetting and dewetting process under directional stress, as presented in article number 1606987 by Huan Liu, Chain-Shu Hsu, and co-workers. The as-prepared polymer thin films exhibit over 6 times higher charge-carrier mobility compared to spin-coated films, therefore providing a general approach for high-performance OTFTs.
