Polyvinylenes

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009260",
  "term": "Polyvinylenes",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Polymers characterized by a backbone consisting of alternating single and double carbon-carbon bonds, forming a conjugated system. This extended conjugation allows for delocalization of electrons along the polymer chain, leading to semiconducting or conducting properties upon doping. Polyvinylenes, such as polyacetylene, are a class of intrinsically conducting polymers with applications in organic electronics and sensors.",
