| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The amphiphilic liquid crystalline diblock copolymer composed of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(methacrylate) having azobenzene-type liquid crystalline mesogen units in the side chain afford normally oriented cylindrical phase-segregated nanostructures in the thin film. In this study, a novel amphiphilic diblock copolymer having n-type semiconducting perylenediimide (PDI) in the side chain was synthesized. The diblock copolymer showed the isotropic transition at 170 ℃, which although much smaller than that of azobenzene-type block copolymer, implying the stacking interaction between the mesogens should be very weak. This copolymer did not show exceptional expansion of cylindrical phase like the azobenzene-type copolymer, to give bbc spherical nanostructure in the thin film according to the ordinary Flory-Huggins-type phase diagram. The stacking distance between the PDI units was calculated to be 0.67 nm, which allow the charge transportation by hopping between PDIs.
