Modern Synthetic and Application Aspects of Polysilanes: An Underestimated Class of Materials?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Silicon Polymers

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 235))

Abstract

Polysilanes can be synthesized by various methods still lacking satisfactory product control in respect to quality and purity. Nonetheless polysilanes are promising in a number of applications like e.g. organic electronic devices. This review summarizes recent progress in the synthesis and possible applications of polysilanes.
