title: Polyethene with pendant 3-thienyl functionalities.
abstract: Polyethene with 3-thienyl functionalities pendant on short-chain branches was prepared by catalytic random copolymerisation of ethene and 3-(penten-1-yl)thiophene; the functionalities can be used to graft poly(3-hexylthiophene) onto the polyethene surface.
