Abstract Poly (3-alkylthiophenes)(P3ATs) particularly poly (3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) have
vigorous tendency to crystallize into the ordered morphologies, thereby reflect the efficient …

This article features recent advances in the synthesis of conjugated polymers via a
controlled polymerization. These polymerizations typically rely on transition metal catalyzed …

Charge carriers typically move faster in crystalline regions than in amorphous regions in
conjugated polymers because polymer chains adopt a regular arrangement resulting in a …

Solution self-assembly of the regioregular polythiophene-based block copolymer poly (3-
hexylthiophene)-b-poly (dimethylsiloxane) yields cylindrical micelles with a crystalline P3HT …

Fast and efficient identification of bacterial pathogens in water and biological fluids is an
important issue in medical, food safety, and public health concerns that requires low-cost …

Conjugated rod-rod block copolymers (BCPs) have attracted considerable attention during
the past decade as they possess both the interesting microphase-separated characteristics …

Nanostar and nanonetwork crystals were prepared from fully conjugated poly (3-(2-
ethylhexyl) thiophene)-block-polythiophene (P3EHT-b-PT) via a simple INCP process. The …

Olefin polymerization using transition-metal catalysts has revolutionized materials science
and petroleum industry, and created an affluent society worldwide. Thus, the discovery of …

Poly (3-hexylthiophene) s were synthesized with phosphonic ester, pyridine, thiol, and
phenol end-groups using functionalized air-stable Ni initiators. The protected thiol-and …

In this manuscript, the Kumada catalyst transfer polymerization (KCTP) of cyclopenta [2, 1-b;
3, 4-b′] dithiophene (CPDT), a monomer consisting of two fused thiophene entities, is …
