Functional Conjugated Polymers and Sensor Applications

The term conjugated polymers refers to a sub-branch of polymer science. Conjugated polymers are polymers formed by adding various functional groups (usually organic compounds) to one end of a polymer chain. These functional groups can change the properties of the polymer or cause certain changes in the polymer. Conjugated polymers are an interesting class of materials widely used in the design of flexible electronic devices. One motivation is the idea that their polymeric nature inherently... see more
