Abstract EN
This paper reports on the structural properties of poly(3-methylthiophene) P3MeT thin films prepared by vacuum evaporation on the glass substrates.
The structural and surface morphology, wettability, adhesion, and intrinsic stress of these thin films were studied for three different thicknesses.
The variation of the film thickness affects the structure, surface, and mechanical properties of P3MeT thin films.
Vapor chopping also strongly influences the surface morphology, surface roughness, and wettability of the thin films.
It was found that there is a decrease in the intrinsic stress and (RMS) roughness, while the adhesion increases with increase in film thickness.
