TL;DR: In this article, a review of functional conjugated polymers prepared by electrochemical polymerization is presented, focusing on the thiophene-based polymers and the relationships between the structures of derivatized precursors, their aptitude for electropolymerisation and the electronic properties of the resulting polymers.
Abstract: Functional conjugated polymers prepared by electrochemical polymerization are reviewed. Various classes of functionalized polymers are considered such as polymers for energy storage and sensor applications, small band gap polymers and novel polymeric materials with original macromolecular structure. Particular emphasis is placed on the thiophene-based polymers and on the relationships between the structures of the various kinds of derivatized precursors, their aptitude for electropolymerisation and the electronic properties of the resulting polymers.
