1 Introduction The advantages of interfacing π-conjugated polymers with living systems have been reflected in recent years by numerous exploratory electrochemical and bioelectrical applications, such as optical displays,[1-3] energy storage devices,[4-7] neuromorphic computing elements,[8-11] and bioelectronic interfaces.[12-14] The ability of conjugated polymers to support coupled ion and electron transport is particularly beneficial for developing these bio-electronic interfaces, as they...

Effect of a benzothiadiazole spacer on transport properties and N-doping of naphthalene-diimide-based copolymers† We report the synthesis of two n-type semiconducting polymers containing a naphthalene diimide (NDI) monomer and thiophene spacers. The two polymers differ by the introduction of an additional 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD) moiety in the polymer backbone.
