Interests: new synthesis methods and applications of conjugated polymers

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Conjugated polymers are one of the most promising polymeric materials for commercial applications due to their tunable properties, which can be controlled through molecular design, precise polymerization, and processing methods. The unique chemical and physical properties of conjugated polymers are closely related to their ordered structures through stacking and/or supramolecular assembly. Systematic evaluation of structure–property relationships in conjugated polymers can afford fundamental information for the improvement of the properties and the development of high-performance electronic devices. There is no doubt that conjugated polymers will continue to find new applications that will be of interest in various research fields.

In this Special Issue, we call for papers concerning theory, design, synthesis, and characterization of conjugated polymers and their functions as batteries, catalysts, emitting diodes, sensors, solar cells, transistors, etc. New insights into the structure–property relationship leading to enhancing these functions are also welcome. We aim to publish both original research articles and reviews.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

In this study, four polycarbazole derivatives (PCMB-Ds) with different alkyl side chains were designed and synthesized via Wittig–Horner reaction. A novel solid-phase electrochemiluminescence (ECL) system was prepared by immobilizing PCMB-D on an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) in the presence of tripropylamine (TPrA). It could be found that the increase in alkyl side chain length had little effect on the ECL signal of PCMB-D, while the increase in the degree of polymerization (DP) greatly enhanced the ECL signal. Furthermore, the P-3/ITO ECL sensor based on the polyoctylcarbazole derivative (P-3) with the best ECL performance was successfully constructed and detected Fe3+ under the optimal experimental conditions. The ECL signal steadily diminished with the increased concentration of Fe3+ because of the competition and complexation between Fe3+ and P-3 under the condition of pH 7.4. This P-3/ITO platform could realize a highly sensitive and selective detection of Fe3+ with a wide detection range (from 6 × 10−8 mol/L to 1 × 10−5 mol/L) and low detection limit of 2 × 10−8 mol/L, which could allow the detection of Fe3+ in multiple scenarios, and would have a great application prospect.
