23. Note: It is our experience that the thermal stability of conjugated polymers is limited by the stability of the conjugated system rather than by the thermal stability of the polymer itself. For a detailed study of the stability of the conjugated system measured with an in-situ UV-vis technique, we refer to ref 24.
