Conjugated Polymers and ROMP: Synthesis, Applications, and Prospects for Technological Innovations

Abstract

This article presents a succinct review of conjugated polymers, with special attention given to the significant impact of ROMP in their synthesis. ROMP enables precise control over the architecture of polymers and facilitates the integration of diverse monomers, Notably, PPVs and Norbornene derivatives have become commonly used ROMP monomers due to their high reactivity and compatibility with various functional groups. The review also explores recent developments in the practical application of conjugated semiconducting polymers. These studies demonstrate the promising potential of these materials across different industries and fields of research. With the versatility of ROMP, researchers can produce tailor-made materials with enhanced optoelectronic properties, opening up new possibilities for technological advancements. As research continues to progress, conjugated polymers are poised to revolutionize areas such as organic electronics, flexible devices, and bioelectronics, offering exciting prospects for future innovations.
