Three types of fullerene (C 60 )‐end‐capped poly(4‐diphenylaminostyrene) (C 60 –PDAS) and poly(4‐diphenylaminostyrene) (PDAS) blends were prepared to investigate their potential as bipolar polymer semiconductors. The concentration of C 60 in the C 60 –PDAS/PDAS blends strongly affected the hole and electron drift mobility values; the hole drift mobility decreased with an increase in the C 60 concentration. However, the electron drift mobility increased with an increase in the C 60 concentration. The hole and electron drift mobility values were almost the same for the 1/2 C 60 –PDAS/PDAS blend; therefore, this polymer blend was thought to be a bipolar polymer semiconductor. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
