The award of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2000 to Professors Alan Heeger, Alan
MacDiarmid, and Hideki Shirakawa for their discovery that “doped” polyacetylene can …

A new exciting interdisciplinary research field has evolved following the discovery that
conjugated polymers can emit light when put into light‐emitting diodes. A myriad of light …

Directing the structure and function of polythiophenes (PTs) can lead to remarkable
enhancements in the electronic and photonic properties of the resultant materials, as …

Co‐electrospinning of core–shell polymer nanofibers (see Figure) is introduced. This
process can be used for manufacturing of coaxial nanofibers made of pairs of different …

Direct (hetero) arylation polymerization (DHAP) has recently been established as an
environmentally benign method for the preparation of conjugated polymers. This synthetic …

An overview of the electrochemistry of poly (3, 4‐alkylenedioxythiophene) s (PXDOTs) is
presented. As a class of conducting and electroactive polymers that can exhibit high and …

Over the last five years, organic photovoltaic devices have emerged as a new competitor to
silicon-based solar cells. In particular, the bulk heterojunction architecture (BHJ), in which …

Polythiophenes are one of the most important classes of conjugated polymers, with a wide
range of applications, such as conducting films, electrochromics, and field‐effect transistors …

Measurements of absolute photoluminescence (PL) efficiencies have been performed for
solid films of several conjugated polymers commonly used for electroluminescence. In poly …
