Using optical and electron microscopy, we investigated the relation between the evolution of self-cracking films with various substrate types and over time. We found that crack-patterned films, interconnected by a dense, channel-like network, are readily and efficiently generated during water evaporation under ambient conditions (20°C–27°C and 40%–50% RH). The concentration of polymersomes and the drying temperature of polymersome cast films have a significant impact on crack formation and crack density. Interestingly, the crack-patterned films served as a catalytic template to promote the hydrolytic polycondensation of tetramethoxysilane (TMOS), resulting in silica-coated films that preserve the original crack pattern. SEM observations before and after silica deposition confirmed that the crack films are composed of stacked spherical polymersomes. The resulting silica-hybrid crack films exhibited enhanced solvent resistance, and the crack channels concentrated target materials via capillary effects when immersed in an aqueous solution of silver acetate.

Using PA4T, constructed from para-azaquinodimethane and quaterthiophene, identical linear n-dodecyl side chains were installed at different thiophene positions to afford a well-defined series of isomeric polymers, enabling systematic investigation of substitution-position effects on aggregation and microstructure. Although their electrochemical properties remain nearly unchanged, side-chain position markedly modulates backbone coplanarity, optical absorption, intermolecular interactions, and interchain packing. All substituted polymers show improved solubility and weakened aggregation compared with unsubstituted PA4T. Notably, PA4T-4, with alkyl substituents at the first and fourth thiophenes oriented toward each other, exhibits reduced backbone torsion, moderate aggregation, and enhanced crystallinity with minimal lattice disorder. Consequently, PA4T-4-based OFETs deliver a reliable hole mobility of 0.813 cm<sup>2</sup> V<sup>−1</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>, nearly an order of magnitude higher than unsubstituted PA4T and superior to the other isomers.
