Abstract

The interfacial properties of solution-processed conjugated polymer films are investigated. Their surface roughness was controlled by varying the humidity during the film deposition and mechanical exfoliation. A superhydrophobic film was obtained from a rough film of a partially fluorinated conjugated polymer. These films would be beneficial towards robust organic electronic devices.
