An easy and novel synthetic concept for building intrinsically stretchable and elastic semiconducting polymers is designed in this study, in which a conjugated rod–coil block copolymer with a rigid poly­(9,9-di-n-octyl-2,7-fluorene) (PFO)-conjugated rod and soft poly­(isoprene) (PI) coils were utili...
