Conjugated polymers: Synthesis and applications in optoelectronics

Abstract

In the last 50 years the development of conjugated polymers for applications in optoelectronics and energy has attracted great interest because of its use as conductive polymers, in solar cells or electronic devices. The continuous progress of such technology needs new polymers with suitable properties for each use. A review of the state of the art of polymer technology and the efforts for obtaining the most suitable polymers for each area is presented.
