Bunz et al. pointed out that it would be of interest to develop materials that combine the stability, electron affinity, and high emissive quantum yield of PPEs with the excellent hole injection capabilities of poly(p-phenylene vinylenejs (PPVs) [48]. In line with this notion,recent synthetic activities have focused on the engineering of the band gap, conduction band, and valence band of PAEs with the objective to render these materials more useful for practical applications that exploit their electrically (semi)conducting nature. Examples of materials that emerged from these efforts are discussed in detail in other portions of this volume (in particular the chapters by Bunz, Klemm, and Yamamoto). They include, among others, poly(heteroarylene ethynylenes) such...
