LIVING SYNTHESIS OF CONDUCTING POLYMERS INCLUDING REGIOREGULAR POLYMERS, POLYTHIOPHENES, AND BLOCK COPOLYMERS
摘要
<p>Regioregular poly(3-alkylthiophenes) and other polythiophenes can be prepared by living polymerization which have good solubility, processability and environmental stability. The polymerization method can afford regioregular poly(3-alkylthiophenes) in high yields. Kinetic study of polymerization revealed the living character of this process. The molecular weight of ?oly(3-alkylthiophenes) is a function of the molar ratio of the monomer to nickel initiator, and conducting polymers with relatively narrow molecular weight distribution (PDKl.5) are now readily available. Sequential monomer addition resulted in new block copolymers containing different poly(3-alkylthiophene) segments, which further confirms the "livingness" of this system. Other synthetic methods can be used as well to conduct living polymerization. Blends and electronic devices can be prepared.</p>
