Integration Exploration of Polymer Physics Teaching and Cutting-edge Research on Conjugated Polymers
Polymer physics,as a core course in polymer science,focuses on the study of the unique physical properties of polymers.Within the polymer system,conjugated polymers stand out as a significant category of semiconductor materials widely applied in the field of flexible electronics,serving as a crucial component throughout the entire polymer system.However,traditional polymer physics courses often lack coverage of relevant content related to conjugated polymers.Conjugated polymers exhibit distinct properties compared to traditional polymers,characterized by a semi-rigid structure and strongπ-π interactions,endowing them with unique physical capabilities.This paper integrates fundamental concepts of polymer physics with research on conjugated polymers,providing a comprehensive exposition of research findings in areas such as single-chain behavior,solutions,glass transition temperatures,crystallization,and mechanical properties.A detailed comparison with the properties of traditional polymers is presented.These research outcomes not only contribute to a deeper understanding of polymer physics concepts but also stimulate students'interest in innovative research,thereby achieving the integration of science and education.
