Conjugated polymers (CPs) are widely used in various domains of organic electronics. However, the performance of organic electronic devices can be variable due to the lack of precise predictive control over the polymer microstructure. While the chemical structure of CPs is important, CP microstructure also plays an important role in determining the charge-transport, optical and mechanical properties suitable for a target device. Understanding the interplay between CP microstructure and the resulting properties, as well as predicting and targeting specific polymer morphologies, would allow current comprehension of organic electronic device performance to be improved and potentially enable more facile device optimization and fabrication. In this Feature Article, we highlight the importance of investigating CP microstructure, discuss previous developments in the field, and provide an overview of the key aspects of the CP microstructure-property relationship, carried out in our group over recent years.
共轭聚合物（CPs）广泛应用于有机电子学的各个领域。然而，由于对聚合物微观结构缺乏精确的预测控制，有机电子器件的性能可能会有所不同。虽然CPs的化学结构很重要，但CP微观结构在决定适合目标器件的电荷传输、光学和机械性能方面也起着重要作用。了解CP微观结构与所得性能之间的相互作用，以及预测和靶向特定的聚合物形态，将有助于改进目前对有机电子器件性能的理解，并有可能实现更简便的器件优化和制造。在这篇专题文章中，我们强调了研究CP微观结构的重要性，讨论了该领域以前的进展，并概述了我们小组近年来在CP微观结构-性能关系的关键方面所开展的工作。
