Condensation polymerization is an important method of polymerization that yields not only
engineering plastics such as polyamides, polyesters, and polyimides but also π-conjugated …

This review draws a rather comprehensive picture of how Suzuki polycondensation was
discovered in 1989 and how it was subsequently developed into the most powerful …

Polymer brushes have become a significant focus of polymer research with the need for
straightforward and versatile surface modification. With the development of controlled radical …

The expansion of the field of organic electronics has hinged upon structural and
fundamental developments in the field of conjugated polymers. Conjugated polymers allow …

Poly (3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) remains of significant importance as a prototypical
benchmark hole conductor material in Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs). In this review we …

Kumada catalyst‐transfer polycondensation (KCTP) is a new but rapidly developing method
with great potential for the preparation of well‐defined conjugated polymers (CPs). The …

The recent discovery of a living, controlled chain-growth method for synthesizing π-
conjugated polymers has ignited the field and led to the development of many new …

A “walking” process of Ni catalysts during Kumada catalyst-transfer polycondensation along
polymerizing poly (3-hexylthiophene), P3HT, chains was investigated. To simplify polymer …

Conjugated polymers have been under active development since the 1970s as the active
material in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), photovoltaic devices and the emissive …
