The diverse properties of organic molecular materials, of which the polymers are amongst the primary ones, will, without doubt, be intensively developed in the future. Photosensitive polymer semiconductors with pre-given properties and a broad spectrum of application will be created for various optoelectronic devices. 

In 1995, Constable proposed that coordination polymers can be obtained on addition of metal ions to terpyridine functionalized monomers.8 Terpyr-idine based coordination polymers containing Fe2+, Ru2+, and Zn2+ template ions were subsequently synthesized by El-Ghayoury,9 Constable,10 and Wiirthner,11 respectively. These polymers are soluble, emissive, and exhibit charge transporting properties, rendering them to have potential application in optoelectronic devices such as polymer light-emitting devices (PLEDs). 

Chiral conjugate polymers such as polythiophenes with an optically active substituent in the 3 position have been studied for use in optoelectronic devices, sensors, and catalysis (Nilsson et al., 2004). These materials show activity based on their chiral behaviors, which can be influenced by solvent or temperature. Flelical biomolecules can be used to induce chirality in optically inactive polythiophenes (Ewbank et al., 2001). Nilsson et al. (2004) extended this to use a positively charged random-coil peptide conjugated with a...

This movement is a key challenge for the entire field of advanced materials, but it is a particularly exciting challenge for silicon-based polymers. From the point of view of materials, silicon-based polymers span the three traditional domains plastics, ceramics, and metals. Potential applications are equally diverse. Silicon-based polymers range from structural materials, to optoelectronic devices, and to speciality materials for biomedical applications. We are in a unique position to capture the benefits of this merger of materials and polymer science.
