Abstract

101 Conjugated polymers and supercritical carbon dioxide (sc CО2) in recent time have attracted a con siderable attention of researchers not only from scien tific but also from practical viewpoint on account of their use in different areas of science and technology. These polymers are intensely used as electroactive materials for light emitting diodes, field effect tran sistors, electrochromic devices, chemosensors, and solar photoelectric cells [1–7], whereas sc CО2 behaves as an environmentally friendly “green” solvent that becomes a real alternative to organic solvents for different chemical processes, including fine organic synthesis and polymer preparation [8, 9]. However, the practical application of sc CО2 for the synthesis of polymers is confined on account of poor solubility of the majority of polymers except for amorphous fluo rine containing polymers and silicones [10].
