Polycyclic aromatic compounds with strong conjugated effect, possess the advantage of improving electronic polarizability, thus accelerating the electron transportation. Here, a facile copolymerization between urea and polycyclic aromatic compounds (benzoic acid, naphthoic acid and anthroic acid) ha...
