Novel materials with wide application

Novel Materials with Wide Application Potential... 

The successful application of heterocyclic compounds in these and many other ways, and their appeal as materials in applied chemistry and in more fundamental and theoretical studies, stems from their very complexity this ensures a virtually limitless series of structurally novel compounds with a wide range of physical, chemical and biological properties, spanning a broad spectrum of reactivity and stability. Another consequence of their varied chemical reactivity, including the possible destruction of the heterocyclic ring, is their increasing use in the synthesis of specifically functionalized non-heterocyclic structures. 

Conductive polymers have attracted increasing attention because they have wide applications. Recently, very stable poly(thiophenes) with polyfluorinated side chains have been electrochemically synthesized and characterized [81]. Furthermore, notably novel conductive materials have been prepared by cathodic electropolymerization of perfluoro cvclobutene and cyclopentene [82]. 

Examples of silicones in ophthalmic application have been described.5 1 However, some problems have been reported with the use of silicones in retinal tamponade.542 Silicones are widely used in contact lenses because of their unusually good oxygen permeability and bioinertness, but the need for novel materials continues. Low-modulus fluorosiloxane-based hydrogel lenses with a wide range of water content and high-oxygen permeability have been described in a number of papers.543-...
