Polymer main chain alignment under reciprocating shear flow to conjugated polymer films has been studied. A piezoelectric element, which generates oscillating shear stress, was employed as an actuator. Uniaxially oriented poly(3-dodecylthiophene) (P3DDT) films were fabricated by the reciprocating shearing stress. The optical and electrical anisotropies in the oriented P3DDT films were investigated and discussed by taking the polymer alignment into consideration.
