ABSTRACT
In semiconducting polymers (SemPolys), the electrons forming the double bonds are delocalized over the main chain. This conjugated system can be disturbed by numerous factors, including conformational defects or the presence of chemical impurities in the material, thus leading to interruptions in the conjugation. Consequently, the polymeric chains possess a collection of conjugated segments of different lengths. Such segments determine the optical and electronic properties of the polymers and are usually referred to as “chromophores.”
