Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201301337-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>SFA‐PQT exhibits self‐assembly</bold> via a fluorophobic effect in a non‐fluorous solvent, which leads to an enhanced electrical performance. Ambipolar transistors and inverters with p‐ and n‐ type bilayers are enabled by the unique thermally reversible soluble‐insoluble properties of SFA‐PQT. More importantly, the hydrophobicity of SFA‐PQT facilitates orthogonal hydrophobic patterning and a patterned inverter exhibits low voltage dissipation, a narrow transition zone, a high gain value, and negligible hysteresis. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg3z2vx2ps" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
