Abstract

We explore melt processing of functionalized pentacene for use in electronic and photonic devices. In parallel, the use of carbon fibers to make electrical contact to the melt-films is described. We discuss the morphology of the melted films which includes the appearance of dendritic growth, carbon fiber contacts to the films, and the temperature dependence of the carbon, PEDOT, and pentacene components of the various structures.
