Seeded Self-Assembly of Charge-Terminated Poly(3-hexylthiophene) Amphiphiles Based on the Energy Landscape
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The creation of 1D π-conjugated nanofibers with precise control and optimized optoelectronic properties is of widespread interest for applications as nanowires. "Living" crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) is a seeded growth method of growing importance for the preparation of uniform 1D fiber-like micelles from a range of crystallizable polymeric amphiphiles. However, in the case of polythiophenes, one of the most important classes of conjugated polymer, only limited success has been achieved to date using block copolymers as precursors. Herein, we describe studies of the living CDSA of phosphonium-terminated amphiphilic poly(3-hexylthiophene)s to prepare colloidally stable nanofibers. In depth studies of the relationship between the degree of polymerization and the self-assembly behavior permitted the unveiling of the energy landscape of the living CDSA process. On the basis of the kinetic and thermodynamic insight provided, we have been able to achieve an unprecedented level of control over the length of low dispersity fiber-like micelles from 40 nm to 2.8 μm.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
