Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj14jc4tqz" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />The molecular structure of poly(3-alkylthiophene-2, 5-diyl) in an amorphous film reveals that the short axis of the thiophene ring is parallel to the substrate, whereas the long axis along the polymer chain is largely disordered. This is unveiled by infrared p-polarized multiple-angle incidence resolution spectroscopy.</p> </abstract>
