Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates how dispersity (the distribution of polymer chain lengths) affects the aggregation behavior of conjugated polymers and their chiral properties, which is an area that hasn't been deeply explored before.
- - Polymers with lower dispersity tend to form type II aggregates, resulting in symmetrical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra, while those with higher dispersity create type I aggregates that yield asymmetrical ECD spectra due to their longer chain lengths acting as seeds for aggregation.
- - The research also compares polymers with similar dispersities but different molar mass distributions; bimodal distributions show more disorder and display both aggregation types, which leads to reduced chiral expression compared to monomodal distributions.
