Progress in the polymerization of substituted acetylenes and the properties and functions of
the formed polymers that have been synthesized in the past several years are surveyed …

The helical structures and optoelectronic functions of conjugated polymers were dynamically
controlled using an external force-responsive liquid crystal field, leading to cultivation and …

This perspective briefly introduces the status quo of various aspects of research on
substituted polyacetylenes along with representative references. The research field of …

Polyacetylenes (PAs) are among the fundamental semiconducting polymers, but interest in
them is currently waning due to the low stability under the workload of electronic devices …

Conjugated polymers (CPs) have drawn great attention due to their excellent optical and
electronic properties for decades. Among the varieties of CPs, polyacetylenes (PAs) …

A novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active molecule, compound 1, was synthesized
for the first time. Simultaneously, an ultra-sensitive and selective chemosensor 2 for the “turn …

This chapter discusses the metathesis polymerization of substituted acetylenes. Monomers,
