Polarized organic semiconductor blends can confer desirable properties, such as enhanced charge transport properties and polarized light emission or absorption. A technique that is not only adapted to solution processing but also producing anisotropic conducting blend films is realized by epitaxial crystallization of blends on oriented polymer substrate. The epitaxial structure of P3HT and PCBM on oriented polyethylene (PE) substrate is affected by the boiling point of the used solvent. The P3HT cast from o-dichlorobenzene with high boiling point on PE forms the "side-on" and "face-on" crystals with c-axis parallel to c-axis of PE. While the orientation of "side-on" and "face-on" crystals is poor when P3HT is casted from chloroform with low boiling point. The addition of PCBM does not affect the epitaxial crystallization behavior of P3HT. Moreover, anisotropic structure of PCBM is also obtained on PE substrate. PE substrate efficiently increases the amount of "face-on" crystals and the ratio of "face-on" to "side-on" is 7 times as much as that on PSS:PEDOT substrate. Anisotropic structures lead to anisotropic absorption and photoluminescence properties. The anisotropic optical properties are better for sample cast from o-dichlorobenzene with the dichroic ratio of 2. Photoluminescence polarization ratio (IVH/IVV) for P3HT and P3HT/PCBM film are ca. 2, which indicates the potential application as the polarized luminophors.
