Alfa Chemistry Releases Electrofunctional Polymers for Wide Application

As the use of electrofunctional polymers in many scenarios have brought more possibilities, more recently the executives at Alfa Chemistry announces their decision of adding hundreds of electrofunctional polymers. This works as a responding strategy to the growing interest in the design, fabrication, and application of electrofunctional nanomaterials for actuation, sensing, smart textiles, energy conversion and many other fields.

Electrofunctional polymers are a type of functional materials that have electrical properties and is favored by many people, when compared to metals, for it has many advantages. As electrofunctional polymers are becoming increasingly popular, various sub-categories have emerged accordingly, covering conductive polymers, polymer electrolytes, and polymer electrodes.

“With continuous development, the existing electrofunctional polymers can no longer meet all needs from diverse applications. There are growing demands for new configurations, and thankfully, novel approaches and new fabrication strategies are being developed, which greatly contributes to the advent of new electromaterials,” says the Marketing Chief of Alfa Chemistry.

Right now the company is capable of providing a wide range of electrofunctional polymers, some of which are listed as below:

Poly[2,7-(9,9-dioctyl-dibenzosilole)-alt-4,7-bis(thiophen-2-yl)benzo-2,1,3-thiadiazole] (CAS 1004272-92-7), Poly[2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-4,7-diyl-2,5-thiophenediyl(9,9-dioctyl-9H-9-silafluorene-2,7-diyl)-2,5-thiophenediyl] (CAS 1004272-92-7), Poly(3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (CAS 104934-51-2), Poly[(4,4-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-dithieno[3,2-b:2′,3-d]silole)-2,6-diyl-alt-(2,1,3-benzothiadiazole)-4,7-diyl] (CAS 1089687-02-4), Poly(3-methyl-4- hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (1158910-70-3), Poly(3-dodecylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (CAS 137191-59-4), Poly{[N,N'-bis(2-hexyldecyl)naphthalene-1,4,5,8-bis(dicarboximide)-2,6-diyl]-alt-5,5'-(2,2'-bithiophene)} (CAS 1459168-70-7), Poly[2-methoxy-5-(3′,7′-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (CAS 177716-59-5), Poly(9-vinylcarbazole) (CAS 25067-59-8),  Polypyrrole (CAS 30604-81-0), Poly[2,5-bis(3-tetradecylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene] (CAS 888491-19-8), and many more.
