The discovery of a remarkable class of plastics that can conduct electricity has opened a new era of plastics science and technology that has just been recognized by the award of the 2000 Nobel prize for chemistry. They can be used to make a wide range of electronic devices such as transistors, light‐emitting diodes, solar cells and even lasers, through much simpler manufacture than conventional inorganic materials, increasing flexibility, reducing cost, and opening up new markets. Polysilanes are subject of an intensive research work aiming to various optoelectronic applications. Through this work the chemical structure of polydiphenylsilane was modified to obtain both solubility in common solvents and to induce new properties by attaching of various organic segments.
