Abstract:
3,3'-(Ethane-1,2-diylidene)bis(indolin-2-one) (EBI) was used as a new electron-acceptor building block for conjugated polymers. Copolymers of EBI and bithiophene exhibited p-type semiconductor performance with hole mobility of up to 0.044 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) in organic thin film transistors.

01:20Types of Step-Growth Polymers: Polyesters
1.7K
The introduction of polyesters has brought major development to the textile industry. The wrinkle-free behavior of polyester blends has eliminated the need for starching and ironing clothes.
Polyesters are commonly prepared from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol; the crude product is known as poly(ethylene terephthalate) or PET. However, polyesters are synthesized industrially by transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol at 150 °C. The two reactants and the...

01:20Anionic Chain-Growth Polymerization: Overview
1.8K
The polymerization process that involves carbanion as an intermediate is called anionic polymerization. It is also a type of addition or chain-growth polymerization. Anionic polymerization gets initiated by a strong nucleophile such as an organolithium or a Grignard reagent. The most commonly used initiator for anionic polymerization is butyl lithium. Monomers involved in anionic polymerization must possess a vinyl group bonded to one or two electron-withdrawing groups. For instance,...
