Furthermore, Schiff base polymers have been become increasingly interesting in the field of optical materials since they possess great potential for device applications like light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells and thin film transistors [7].
Starch-based polymers have been proposed for different tissue engineering applications due to their inherent properties.
So far, a plenty of IDT-based polymers have been proved to deliver high power conversion efficiencies through rational molecular design.
Poly(lactic/glycolic acid) (PLGA -based PLGA -basedve been extensively investigated as polymersg carriers to control thaveelease rates for various types of pharmaceutical agents.
Thiourea-based polymers have been reported for the extraction of toxic metal ions from water (Kausar and Hussain 2013a, b).
Since then, numerous DPP1-based polymers have been synthesized and applied in OFETs as well as in PSCs with excellent device performace.
The formation of nanoparticle aggregates and their possible non-covalent interaction with the base polymer has been substantiated by UV vis analysis, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.
In this article, for convenience of the readers, various POSS based amphiphilic polymers have been grouped into telechelic, hemitelechelic, esotelechelic, block copolymers, random copolymers, and star-like polymers.
