Thermochromism denotes the phenomenon of a color change with dependence on
temperature. The red color of the ruby, for example, transforms on heating, when exceeding …

This review focuses on the structural control in thin films of regioregular poly (3‐
hexylthiophene)(P3HT), a workhorse among conjugated semiconducting polymers. It …

Discussing theory and transport, synthesis, processing, properties, and applications, this
second edition of a standard resource covers advances in the field of electrically conducting …

Conjugated polymers have been widely studied as potential semiconductor materials for
organic thin-film transistors (TFTs). However, they have provided functionally poor transistor …

Recent progress in the synthesis and characterization of well-defined conjugated polymers
and oligomers is presented. The different synthetic schemes for most of the important …

Organic semiconducting materials offer the advantage of solution processability into flexible
films. In most cases, their drawback is based on their low charge carrier mobility, which is …

Stacking of poly (3-alkylthiophene) s P3RThs and poly (4-alkylthiazole) s P4RTzs has been
studied. Light scattering analysis indicates that head-to-tail (HT) type HT-P3HexTh (R= n …

Many significant fundamental concepts and practical applications have developed since the
publication of the best-selling second edition of the Handbook of Conducting Polymers. Now …

The chain shape of polymers affects many aspects of their behavior and is governed by their
intramolecular interactions. Delocalization of electrons along the backbone of conjugated …

Energy conversion of light into mechanical work is of fundamental interest in applications. In
particular, diligent molecular design on nanoscale, in order to achieve efficient …
