Synthesis of a Novel Family of Polysilsesquioxanes Having Oligothiophenes with Well-Defined Structures

الملخص EN

Our recent results on the synthesis and properties of a novel family of polysilsesquioxanes having oligothiophenes were reviewed.

The polymers anchored on SiO2 or ITO substrates showed excellent mechanical hardness due to the formation of a three-dimensional siloxane network structure and chemical linkage between polymer and the surface of metal-oxide substrates.

Optical, electrochemical, and electrical properties of polymers were also investigated.
