Synthesis and characterization of polystyrene-graft-polythiophene via a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization and Grignard reaction

For the first time, synthesis and characterization of polystyrene-graft-polythiopheneviaa combination of atom transfer radical polymerization and Grignard reaction is reported.

An easily functionalizable oligo(oxyethylene)- and ester-substituted poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) derivative exhibiting alkali metal ion response

UV-vis spectra of P(ProDOT-EO-ester) in THF in the presence of different cations.

Organic soluble and uniform film forming oligoethylene glycol substituted BODIPY small molecules with improved hole mobility

A propeller type donor imparts organic solubility to oligoethylene glycol substituted conjugated small molecules. The oligoethylene glycol facilitates better intermolecular contacts and improved organic field effect transistor efficiency.
