Bottlebrush polymers are complex architectures with densely grafted polymer side chains along polymeric backbones. The dense and conformationally extended in bottlebrush give rise to unique properties, including low chain entanglement, critical aggregation concentrations, elastomeric properties the bulk phase. Conjugated have garnered attention as lightweight, processible, flexible semi-conducting materials. They promising candidates electronic devices sensors, but their optoelectronic depend on adequate ordering, π-π interactions, crystallization. Crystallization-driven self-assembly of conjugated has become a prominent method optimize band energies, redox potentials, exciton diffusion transport. Much progress been made controlled block copolymer self-assembly, despite reports bottlebrushes limited, is relatively unexplored. For first time, we report synthesis core-shell polymers. These materials contain poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) either core or shell position. We demonstrate that use P3HT crystallizable PEG colloidally stabilizing disaggregating facilitates into number crystalline morphologies longer conjugation lengths lower bandwidths relative analogous diblock copolymers. include intramolecularly self-assembled segregated polymers, short nanofibers formed by end-on-end stacking molecules, extremely long >20 μm exclusively stacking, >15 nanoribbons from both side-by-side
