The Role of Time in the Structural Ordering of Poly-3-Hexylthiophene

Spin Coater
Material Science
Materials: rr-P3HT dissolved in chloroform

Polymers (MDPI)

Apogee® 200 Spin Coater

Wafer Size: 20mmx20mm

Substrate Type: Glass

This paper studies annealing-time effects in P3HT thin films and explicitly states that a P3HT–chloroform solution was spin-deposited on glass substrates using an Apogee® Spin Coater.

Publication Year: 2025

Process Overview

The authors dissolved 10 mg rr-P3HT in 1 mL chloroform, dispensed 0.3 mL per sample, and spin-deposited the films at 600 rpm for 30 s on 20 × 20 mm glass substrates. Film thickness was calibrated to about 65 nm, and samples were then annealed at 80 °C for 20–100 min to study structural ordering.
