Versatile hybridization of conjugated polymers with silica

Abstract

A simple method for preparing a conjugated-polymer/SiO2 hybrid by the common sol–gel reaction in the presence of a conjugated polymer such as a rigid-rod PAE is described. Hydrogen bonding between amide side chains of the PAE and residual silanol groups leads to effective dispersion of the PAE in the SiO2 matrix even in the absence of a compatibilizer.
