Synthesis of poly(2-hexylthieno[3,4-b]thiophene-co-4,8-didodecyloxybenzo[1, 2-b:4, 5-b-] dithiophene) (PTB) is presented using a simple and low cost method. Anhydrous DMF and toluene was added into the mixture of 4,6-dibromo-2- hexylthieno[3,4-b] thiophene,2,6-Bis(trimethyltin)-4,8-didodecyloxybenzo...
