      abstract     = {Targeted control of the aggregation, morphology and optical
                      properties of conjugated polymers is critical for the
                      development of high performance optoelectronic devices.
                      Here, self-assembly approaches are used to strategically
                      manipulate the order, conformation and spatial distribution
                      of conjugated polymers in solution and subsequently prepared
                      thin films. The supramolecular complex organisation of
                      phosphonium-functionalised homo- (P3HTPMe3) and diblock
                      (P3HT-b-P3HTPMe3) ionic conjugated polythiophenes upon
                      solvent-mediation and co-assembly with oppositely charged
                      surfactants is investigated. UV/Vis absorption and
                      photoluminescence spectroscopies, small-angle neutron
                      scattering (SANS), cryo-transmission electron microscopy
                      (cryo-TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) are used to
                      probe the organisation and photophysical response of the
                      aggregates formed. Subtle differences in the surfactant mole
                      fraction and structure, as well as the solvent polarity,
                      yield differences in the nature of the resultant
                      homopolyelectrolyte-surfactant complexes. In contrast, only
                      moderate structural transformations are observed for the
                      amphiphilic diblock copolyelectrolyte, emphasising the
                      structure “anchoring” effect of a neutral polymer block
                      when amphiphilic copolymers are dissolved in polar solvents.
                      These results highlight the versatility of self-assembly to
                      access a range of nanomorphologies, which could be crucial
                      for the design of the next generation of organic
                      optoelectronic devices.},
