Abstract: Facile ways towards the development of linear and brush-type zwitterionic conjugated polyelectrolytes possessing hole or electron blocking abilities are presented using combination of polymerization techniques, such as Suzuki or Stille cross coupling, Grignard Metathesis Polymerization and Atom transfer radical polymerization. These zwitterionic conjugated polyelectrolytes will serve as excellent interface materials in various optoelectronic devices.

Abstract: New polymeric networks bearing benzimidazole units have been prepared. These polymeric networks will combine high proton conductivity, superior mechanical properties and thermal and oxidative stability due to the existence of polar benzimidazole groups and the presence of the unique polymeric architecture. The prepared polymer networks can be used in the catalyst ink of the electrodes in high temperature PEM fuel cells.
