For the past decades, polymer chemists, material scientists and engineers have combined
efforts to explore the functionality and application of CPs. The domains of semiconductors,
luminescent materials and electric devices have all witnessed the development of functional CPs,
and many of them have found their industrial value. More high-tech applications regarding
stimuli-responsive materials, metallic ceramics, information storage and medical diagnosis [16]
are under exploration. The prosperity of CPs always calls for inspiration and dedication on the
basis of our fundamental understanding about the realm.
