Abstract

A novel composite system containing of liquid crystalline semiconductor and crosslinked polymer exhibited high hole mobilities with comparison of that of pure liquid crystalline molecules. The carrier transport properties were influenced by the polymerized conditions. The mobilities were independent on temperature and electric field in the case of mesophases polymerized samples. These carrier transport properties were essentially different of those of well-known molecularly doped polymers.
