  • Functionalized Semiconducting Polymers For Use In Organic Photovoltaic Devices
    Publication number: 20130276887
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to functionalized semiconducting polymers (FSPs) having the following general formula (I): wherein PB is a semiconducting polymer backbone, L is an alkyl, alkenyi or alkoxy chain and CTG is a cationic terminal group. The FSPs may be used as interfacial modifiers in organic electronics, and more specifically organic photovoltaic devices.
