Patent

Conjugated block copolymers, methods of preparation and their use in heterojunction devices (2009-AU1562 2010060159)

2009-AU1562 2010060159

Abstract

The invention relates to block copolymers having both electron donor and electron acceptor monomer units and to methods for their prepn. A further aspect of the invention relates to the use of the block copolymers in the fabrication of polymer film-based heterojunction devices. In one form the devices display high conversion efficiencies in solar cell applications. [on SciFinder(R)]
