Abstract

A syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) bottlebrush polymer has been shown to complex with C60 fullerene and assemble into nanoparticles that can be dispersed in polar organic solvents. This composite material was used as an electrode interlayer in organic solar cell (OSC) devices leading to enhanced device performance.
