Design and Synthesis of Conjugated Polymers

Hardcover, xv + 363 pages, NOT ex-library. Printed in Germany. Pages are clean with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show light shelfwear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This systematic guide compiles well-tested, reproducible synthesis protocols for key conjugated polymer families, enabling the rational design of materials for organo-electronic applications. Chapters detail substituted polyacetylenes (functional properties: conductivity, luminescence, sensing), Suzuki polycondensation for polyarylenes (monomer purity, catalyst optimization, molar mass control), regioregular polythiophenes (McCullough, Rieke, GRIM methods, microstructure tuning), poly(phenylenevinylene)s (Gilch, Wessling, Heck/Stille couplings), poly(aryleneethynylene)s (palladium-catalyzed and metathesis routes), polyfluorenes, poly(2,7-carbazole)s, ladder polymers, and silole-containing systems. By linking synthetic strategies directly to device performance in OFETs, PLEDs (emission color tuning), and OPVs, the book bridges fundamental polymer chemistry with a practical, method-centric focus. -- Unique in its synthesis-driven approach, this book remains essential for optimizing materials in organic photovoltaics, LEDs, and transistors. Its detailed, validated protocols save time and resources, guiding researchers toward stable, high-performance polymers for flexible electronics, biosensors, and sustainable energy. An indispensable resource for chemists, materials scientists, and device engineers advancing the field.…
