Abstract

Abstract : In this study, a generally applicable strategy is described to manipulate the optical properties of a wide range of polymer semiconductors in the solid state. Blending these materials with a non‐conjugated, polar polymer matrix is found to be the processing key to a drastic change and red‐shift of the absorption characteristics.
