1. A conjugated polymer having a backbone of π-conjugated repeat units, wherein the conjugated polymer is non-ionic and comprises a structure of the formula:
wherein:
Ar is polycyclic repeat unit;
MU is a polymer modifying unit or band gap modifying unit that is evenly or randomly distributed along the polymer main chain;
optional linkers L1 and L2 are each independently an aryl or a heteroaryl group evenly or randomly distributed along the polymer main chain;
G1 and G2 are terminating groups, at least one of which is selected from: alkyne, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heteroaryl, halogen substituted aryl, optionally substituted fluorene and aryl or heteroaryl, and wherein G1 and G2 do not comprise a repeat unit;
n is an integer selected so that the conjugated polymer has a molecular weight ranging from 5,000 g/mol to 100,000 g/mol; and
a, b, c and d define the mol % of each unit within the structure which each can be evenly or randomly repeated and where a is a mol % from 10 to 100%, b is a mol % from 0 to 90%, and each c and d are mol % from 0 to 25%.
