Abstract

The study and subsequent development of conjugated organic polymers is an area which has provided enormous opportunities for researchers over the past several years. Recognized applications of these materials include their use in light-emitting diodes (LEDs), nonlinear optical (NLO) devices, lightweight batteries, and sensory devices. The growing number of uses and performance requirements for these materials is driving the need for ...
