Elektrolumineszierende konjugierte Polymere – Polymere erstrahlen in neuem Licht

Ein aufregendes interdisziplinares Forschungsgebiet hat sich aus der Entdeckung entwickelt, das konjugierte Polymere bei Anregung durch Strom Licht emittieren konnen – dies ermoglicht ihre Verwendung in Leuchtdioden. Eine Vielzahl lichtemittierender Polymere (Beispiele siehe unten), deren Farben das gesamte sichtbare Spektrum des Lichts abdecken, wurde durch chemische Intuition und rationales Design entwickelt.
