Conjugated polyelectrolytes(CPE)feature π-conjugated backbones that are functionalized with polar,ionic side chains.These polymers have very strong optical absorptivity due to the conjugated electronic system,and the HOMO-LUMO gap can be controlled by tuning the electronic nature of the monomer units.CPEs are polymer amphiphiles,and consequently they self-assemble in solution into colloidal aggregates,and they can be deposited onto surfaces to afford nanostructured films by using the layer-by-layer method.Due to the π-conjugated backbone,CPEs exhibit photonic properties,exhibiting strong absorption in the visible region and strong fluorescence.Fundamental studies of the self-assembly of CPEs in solution and at interfaces,along with their application as biosensors and in hybrid solar cells will be discussed.
