Conjugated Polymers

/ˌkɒn.jʊˈɡeɪ.tɪd ˈpɒl.ɪ.məz/noun
ELI5 Mode🧒

Conjugated polymers are a class of synthetic organic materials featuring a chain of alternating single and multiple bonds that allow for electron delocalization, giving them unique electrical and optical properties. These versatile compounds are revolutionizing technology by enabling flexible electronics, such as bendable screens and efficient solar cells, while also pushing the boundaries of sustainable materials in everyday applications.
