"synthetic polymers as a promising, sustainable alternative to expensive, unsustainable minerals currently used in electronic devices like conductors, transistors, and diodes... newly developed polymers possess special electronic properties enabled by 2 controlled techniques: chirality and chemical doping: structural chirality significantly boosts chemical reaction controlling doping in polymers, even though initially detrimental"
