Boundaries along the fiber provide a small barrier to charge transport when compared to fiber-to-fiber grain boundaries. The films allow a correlation to be drawn between the grain-boundary type and charge-transport behavior in P3HT. References 1 M. L. Chabinyc, A. Salleo, Chem. Mater. 2004, 16, 4509. 2 P. E.
