Special Issue on Conjugated Polymers
Conjugated
polymers are organic macromolecules that are characterized by at least one
backbone chain of alternating double- and single-bonds. Due to the fact that
the overlapping pz-orbitals of the carbon atoms which forms the
delocalised π-orbitals of the alternating double-and single-bonds (i.e. the
single and double bonds becomes similar). Furthermore, the π-electrons can be
easier moved from one bond to the other, which can lead to interesting and useful
electronic and optical properties.
In this special issue, we intend to invite
front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review
articles on exploring Conjugated Polymers. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Applications of conjugated polymers
-
Molecular design of conjugated polymers
-
Synthesis and characterization of conjugated
polymers
-
Mechanism of conductivity in conjugated
polymers
-
Properties of conjugated polymers
-
Functionalization of conjugated polymers
Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully
before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of
their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.
Please kindly specify the “Special Issue”
under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Conjugated
Polymers” should be selected during your submission.
