Research Abstract	Organic semiconductors have previously gained enormous attention for the applications in less expensive and flexible electronic devices. One of the key studies toward increasing device performance is constructing ordered pi-conjugated paths for efficient charge transporting. I prepared novel block copolymers with phthalocyanine molecules using atom transfer radical polymerization and click chemistry. The block copolymers showed cylindrical morphology, while the Pc molecules aggregate inside the cylinder.
