Thiophene in Conducting Polymers: Synthesis of Poly(thiophene)s and Other Conjugated Polymers Containing Thiophenes, for Application in Polymer Solar Cells

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Thiophenes

Part of the book series: Topics in Heterocyclic Chemistry ((TOPICS,volume 39))

Abstract

Conducting polymers based on thiophene are described. The polymers include poly(thiophene) with and without side-chains and other conjugated polymers in general, based on thiophene. The synthesis and characteristics of the polymers are described along with the application of these as light-absorbing materials in polymer solar cells.
