| Abstract: | Conducting
polymers have infiltrated our day to day life with a wide range of products
extending from the most common consumer goods to highly specialized
applications in space, aeronautics and electronics. In this article, current
efforts to design novel conducting polymers with the desired conduction
properties are reviewed. Some recent results on the electronic structure and
conduction properties of tailored conducting polymers are discussed. The
application of search algorithms in obtaining the optimal solution for a
copolymer with minimum band-gap and maximum delocalization has been discussed. Finally,
the importance of theoretical study of conducting polymers has been outlined. |
