    The synthesis of a new benzocyclobutene based polymer, PSBBB, designed as a dielectric material for use in organic thin film transistors was reported. Compared to conventional benzocyclobutene-based materials, the introduction of a butoxide substituent at the 7-position of the benzocyclobutene pendant unit on the polymer allowed PSBBB to be cross-linked at temperatures of 120 °C, thus rendering it compatible with the processing requirements of flexible plastic substrates. The cross-linking behavior of PSBBB was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry, demonstrating cross-linking of the polymer after curing at 120 °C. Bottom-gate bottom-contact organic thin film transistors were fabricated using PSBBB as dielectric, affording a performance comparable to that of other dielectric polymeric materials.
