Abstract
Modelling the fact that the true three-dimensional structure of most real conjugated polymers is not crystalline we introduce a fluctuating contribution to the perpendicular interchain hopping of the π-electrons. Using a supersymmetry path integral technique the electronic density of states is calculated. We find that the band edge structures are smeared out and the dimerization amplitude is decreased.
