Intrinsically conductive polymers (CPs) combine the inherent mechanical properties of organic polymers with charge transport, opto-electronic and redox properties that can be easily tuned up to those typical of semiconductors and metals. The control of the morphology at the nanoscale and the design of CP-based composite materials have expanded their multifunctional character even further. These virtues have been exploited to advantage in opto-electronic devices, energy-conversion and storage systems, sensors and actuators, and more recently in applications related to biomedical and separation science or adsorbents for pollutant removal. The special issue "Conductive Polymers: Materials and Applications" was compiled by gathering contributions that cover the latest advances in the field, with special emphasis upon emerging applications.
本征导电聚合物(CPs)将有机聚合物的固有机械性能与电荷传输、光电和氧化还原性能结合在一起,这些性能可以很容易地调整到接近半导体和金属的典型性能。纳米级形态的控制以及基于CP的复合材料的设计进一步扩展了它们的多功能特性。这些优点已在光电器件、能量转换和存储系统、传感器和致动器中得到了利用,最近还应用于生物医学和分离科学相关领域或用于去除污染物的吸附剂。《导电聚合物:材料与应用》特刊通过收集涵盖该领域最新进展的稿件汇编而成,特别强调新兴应用。
