AI Article Synopsis

  • Organic π-conjugated polymers are important materials for plastic electronics due to their unique properties.
  • The arrangement and distance between π-systems in these polymers influence their energy transfer and conductivity.
  • The article explores how specific interactions between π-systems, which are chemically fixed, impact their optoelectronic characteristics.

Article Abstract

Organic π-conjugated polymers have emerged as one of the most fascinating classes of materials as they have found utility in a host of plastic electronics technologies. The distance between π-systems and their relative orientation dictate energy/charge transfer, conductivity, and photophysical properties of these materials in bulk. This Feature Article discusses π-conjugated polymers and model compounds in which specific inter-π-system interactions are covalently enforced and the effect that the scaffolding has on optoelectronic properties.

Engineered muscle tissues can be used for the regeneration or substitution of irreversibly damaged or diseased muscles. Recently, graphene oxide (GO) has been shown to improve the adsorption of biomolecules through its biocompatibility and intrinsic π-π interactions. The possibility of producing various GO modifications may also provide additional functionality as substrates for cell culture.
