Abstract
Communication: The solubility of polythiophenes substituted with a hyd roxy-decyl chain is found to be closely related to the polymerization conditions. The presence of the hydroxy function does not compromise t he processability of the polymer into films nor the thermochromic and solvatochromic properties of the materials, although hydrogen bonding between macromolecules is thought to result in the restriction of solu bility.
