High purity for block copolymer

Highly pure poly(3-hexylthiophene)-containing block copolymers have been made, which is a great result for future optoelectronic applications, say US scientists.

Christopher Bielawski and colleagues as the University of Texas at Austin used click chemistry and a clever purification procedure to produce the block copolymers without the typical homopolymer impurity.
