All-polythiophene diblock copolymers, comprising one unsheathed block and one fenced block, were synthesized through catalyst-transfer polycondensation. The unsheathed block self-assembles through π-π stacking, thereby inducing microphase separation. Consequently, we have succeeded in creating a microphase separation comprising an ensemble of stacked and isolated polythiophenes. This achievement could be extended to various unexplored applications as a result of the integration of the contrasting functions of the two blocks.
全聚噻吩两嵌段共聚物由一个无外壳块和一个有围栏块组成，通过催化剂转移缩聚合成。无外壳块通过π-π堆积自组装，从而诱导微相分离。因此，我们成功地创造了一种包含堆积和隔离聚噻吩的微相分离。由于两个嵌段的对比功能的集成，这一成果可以扩展到各种尚未探索的应用中。
