Due to their extended p-orbital delocalization, conjugated polymers absorb light in the range of visible-NIR frequencies. We attempt to exploit this property to create materials that compete with inorganic semiconductors in photovoltaic and light-emitting materials. Beyond competing for applications in photonic devices, organic conjugated compounds, polymers, and small molecules have also been extended to biomedical applications like phototherapy and biodetection. Recent research on conjugated polymers has focused on bioapplications based on the absorbed light energy conversions in electric impulses, chemical energy, heat, and light emission. In this review, we describe the working principles of those photonic devices that have been applied and researched in the field of biomaterials.
由于其扩展的p轨道离域，共轭聚合物在可见光-近红外频率范围内吸收光。我们试图利用这一特性来制造在光伏和发光材料方面可与无机半导体相媲美的材料。除了在光子器件应用方面展开竞争外，有机共轭化合物、聚合物和小分子还被拓展到光疗和生物检测等生物医学应用领域。最近关于共轭聚合物的研究集中在基于吸收光能转化为电脉冲、化学能、热能和发光的生物应用上。在这篇综述中，我们描述了那些已在生物材料领域得到应用和研究的光子器件的工作原理。
