FLUORINATED ARENE, IMIDE AND LACTAM-FUNCTIONALIZED DONOR ACCEPTOR CONJUGATED POLYMERS: SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE-PROPERTY AND DEVICE STUDIES

After the discovery of doped polyacetylene, organic semiconductor materials are widely studied as high impending active components in consumer electronics. They have received substantial consideration due to their potential for structural tailoring, low cost, large area and mechanically flexible alternatives to common inorganic semiconductors. To acquire maximum use of these materials, it is essential to get a strong idea about their chemical and physical nature. Material chemist has an enormous role to play in this novel area, including development of efficient synthetic methodologies and control the …
