Three types of fullerene (C60)‐end‐capped poly(4‐diphenylaminostyrene) (C60–PDAS) and poly(4‐diphenylaminostyrene) (PDAS) blends were prepared to investigate their potential as bipolar polymer semiconductors. The concentration of C60 in the C60–PDAS/PDAS blends strongly affected the hole and electro...
