Synthesis of electrically conducting organic polymers: halogen derivatives of polyacetylene, (CH)x

TLDR
When silvery films of the semiconducting polymer, trans polyacetylene, (CH)x, are exposed to chlorine, bromine, or iodine vapour, uptake of halogen occurs, and the conductivity increases markedly (over seven orders of magnitude in the case of iodine) to give silvery or silvery-black films, some of which have a remarkably high conductivity at room temperature.
Abstract
When silvery films of the semiconducting polymer, trans‘polyacetylene’, (CH)x, are exposed to chlorine, bromine, or iodine vapour, uptake of halogen occurs, and the conductivity increases markedly (over seven orders of magnitude in the case of iodine) to give, depending on the extent of halogenation, silvery or silvery-black films, some of which have a remarkably high conductivity at room temperature.

Functional polymers: from plastic electronics to polymer-assisted therapeutics

TL;DR: A brief account focusing largely on the work of the author's own laboratory explores recent advances in the design of functional polymers in two seemingly very disparate areas: organic or ‘plastic’ electronics and polymer therapeutics as discussed by the authors.

Solution-Processable Neutral Green Electrochromic Polymer Containing Thieno[3,2-b]thiophene Derivative as Unconventional Donor Units

TL;DR: In this paper, the donor-acceptor (D-A) polymer PBOTT-BTD has been synthesized through direct C-H arylation polycondensation, using 3,6-bis(hexyloxy)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene instead of conventional D units and benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole as the A unit.
