Imide/amide based π-conjugated polymers for organic electronics

Recently, great progress has been made in the field of organic electronics. Such advancements would not be possible without the synthesis of new donor-acceptor pi-conjugated polymers. In this review, we summarize recent developments in the preparation of imide/amide containing polymers and their applications in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells and, to some extent, in organic field effect transistors (OFET).
