Conjugated polyelectrolytes are conjugated polymers that feature ionic side groups which render the materials soluble in water and other polar solvents. In this review we summarize recent work which has been carried out to synthesize a variety of new conjugated polyelectrolyte structures, including those with poly(paraphenylene), poly(phenylene vinylene) and poly(phenylene ethynylene) backbone structures. Work that has examined the optical, photophysical and solution properties of these materials is also reviewed. Finally, a brief survey of novel applications of conjugated polyelectrolytes to the fabrication of optoelectronic devices and fluorescent sensors is provided.

This is the first monograph to specifically focus on fundamentals and applications of polyelectrolytes, a class of molecules that gained substantial interest due to their unique combination of properties. Combining both features of organic semiconductors and polyelectrolytes, they offer a broad field for fundamental research as well as applications to analytical chemistry, optical imaging, and opto-electronic devices. The initial chapters introduce readers to the synthesis, optical and electrical properties of various conjugated polyelectrolytes. This is followed by chapters on the applications of these materials in optical sensing and imaging with emphasis on biological systems, while the final section addresses the emerging applications of conjugated polyelectrolytes in optoelectronic devices, concluding with an in-depth discussion of structure-property relationship. The editors and contributors are all pioneers and experts in this expanding field. This monograph is not only for chemists, materials scientists, and physicists, but also a unique source of knowledge for readers with scientific background interested in polyelectrolytes.

Third, a series of cationic CPEs with quaternary ammonium side groups has been synthesized and examined their biocidal activity. The photophysical studies in solution shows that direct excitation of the polymers produces a triplet state, sensitizing effectively singlet oxygen generation. Therefore, the polymer effectively kills bacteria such as Cobetia marina and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Finally, a series of new conjugated polyampholytes containing both anionic and cationic side groups has successfully synthesized. These polymers show different behavior depending on the nature of ionic groups, the ratio of anionic to cationic groups, and pH. The polymer with 1:1 ratio of ammonium to sulfonate groups shows very low solubility in water and organic solvents; however, when the ratio is smaller, the polymers behave like CPEs. The polyampholyte bearing carboxyl and ammonium side groups shows pH- dependent photophysical changes.

ABSTRACT: In this dissertation, we present the research that was focused on the design, synthesis and photophysical properties of conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) based on poly(arylene ethynylene) (PAE). Applications of these materials for anion sensing and dye-sensitized solar cell (DSCs) were also explored. First, a meta-linked poly(phenylene ethynylene) featuring chiral anionic groups was designed and synthesized. Because of the presence of chiral side chains, the conjugated backbone of this polymer folds preferentially into a left-handed helix in water, as proven by absorption, fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Similar to the helix formed by double-strand DNA, the helical conformation of the synthetic polymer interacts with a metallointercalator [Ru(bpy)2(dppz)]2 and turns on the emission from the complex. Cationic cyanine dyes can also bind to the helical conformation of the polymer in a "groove-binding" manner. A chiral and optically active aggregate of cyanine dyes is formed by transferring the chirality of the polymer template. Second, we have systematically investigated the photophysical properties of para-linked poly(phenylene ethynylene)s (PPEs). These CPEs are shown to undergo a solvent-driven.

As the world’s population continues to grow so does the demand for food, and in consequence the amount of material left over from food production. No longer considered simply as "waste", many food co-products are being identified as economically-viable raw materials and their potential is enhanced by modern processing technologies and the biorefinery concept. This book presents a general overview of the current situation, with perspectives from within the food industry and policy makers in the introductory chapters. These are followed by five chapters exploring modern advanced processing techniques. Further chapters are dedicated to separate food groups, including cereals, oils, rice and fish, exploring the potential for making the best use of the co-products generated. Many of the processing technologies discussed will be familiar to students and practitioners of green chemistry, but the book goes further in presenting examples and case studies, written by active workers in the field from across the globe. Food technicians and process engineers will be amongst the researchers in academia and industry and postgraduate students this book is aimed for.
