Research Abstract |
π-Conjugated polymers have received much attention because of their application in electronic devices such as thin film transistors, organic light-emitting diodes, and photo-voltaic cells. In this research, we investigated chain-growth condensation polymerization of aromatic monomers to yieldπ-conjugated block copolymers and alternating copolymers with controlled molecu-lar weight, narrow molecular distribution, and defined polymer end groups, which will serve as new organic electrical materials. We synthesized block copolymers consisting of different donorπ-conjugated polymers, and developed synthetic method for acceptorπ-conjugated polymers with de-fined molecular weight.
