    Abstract: A conjugated light-emitting polymer comprising a host repeat unit and an intermediate repeat unit in a backbone of the conjugated light emitting polymer, and an emissive unit. The host repeat unit has a wider band gap than the intermediate unit. The intermediate repeat unit has a wider band gap than the emissive unit. The emissive unit is either: an emissive repeat unit of a block copolymer wherein the block copolymer comprises a first block comprising the intermediate repeat unit and the emissive repeat unit and a second block comprising the host repeat unit; a substituent of a proportion of the host repeat units and at least some of the host repeat units substituted with an emissive unit are arranged directly adjacent to an intermediate repeat unit; a substituent of a proportion of the intermediate repeat units; or a repeat unit in the backbone of the conjugated polymer and is arranged directly adjacent to the intermediate repeat unit. The conjugated light-emitting polymer may be part of a light-emitting marker for detecting the presence of a target analyte in a sample.

    Abstract: A target analyte in a sample may be identified using a light-emitting marker configured to bind to the target analyte. The sample containing the light-emitting marker is irradiated and emission from the sample at an emission wavelength of the light-emitting marker is detected. The method may be flow cytometry. The light-emitting marker comprises a light-emitting polymer comprising an electron-accepting repeat unit of formula (I) and an electron-donating repeat unit: (I) R1 and R2 independently in each occurrence is H or a substituent and X in each occurrence is independently a substituent. The light-emitting marker may be a particulate light-emitting marker comprising particles containing the light-emitting polymer and a matrix material, e.g. silica.

    Abstract: A composition comprising a first compound and a second compound of formula (I) wherein EDG is an electron-donating group comprising a polycyclic hetero aromatic group and each BAG is an electron- accepting group of formula (II) --- is a bond to EDG; each R 10 is, independently in each occurrence, H or a substituent; each R 11 -R 14 is, independently in each occurrence, H or an electron- withdrawing group; and of the first and second compounds of formula (I), the total number of electron- withdrawing groups R 11 -R 14 is greater for the first compound of formula (I). The composition may further contain an electron donor capable of donating an electron to the compounds of formula (I). The composition may be used in the photoactive layer of an organic photodetector.

    Abstract: A double layered, flexible thermoelectric generator with direct bonded, double layers of active materials that are directly bonded by heat curing, not soldered nor attached/bonded by an adhesive layer. The thermoelectric device is made from a first substrate and a second substrate, each including an n-type and p-type thermoelectric legs. The first and the second substrate are brought together so that the n-type and p-type thermoelectric legs of the first substrate come into direct contact with, respectively, the n-type and the p-type thermoelectric legs of the second substrate. Each thermoelectric leg may be disposed in a well formed in an insulating layer disposed over contact electrodes supported on the first and second substrate. Each thermoelectric leg may contain a particulate semiconductor and a binder, e.g. a polymer binder. The pairs of legs are bonded together by heat curing.
