Polymers, processes, compositions & uses

A polymer comprising one or more units selected from the group consisting of S1, S2, S3 S4, and combinations thereof, wherein each of S1, S2, S3, and S4 is represented by the following corresponding formula:

• wherein
• i) k is an integer equal to or higher than 0, and
• ii) m is an integer equal to or higher than 0, and
• iii) n is an integer equal to or higher than 0, and
• iv) p is an integer equal to or higher than 0, and
• v) the sum of k, m, n and p is equal to or higher than 1, and
• vi) X is selected from the group consisting of L4, L6, L7, L8, L9, L10, L11, L12, L13, L20, L23, L24, L25, L26, L27, L28, and L31 as each of L4 to L31 is defined below, and wherein the black bold dots shown in the formulae of any one of L4 to L31 represent the attachment points of each of L4 to L31 to the S 1, and wherein the attachment points are carbon atoms,
• vii) Y is selected from the group consisting of L4, L6, L7, L8, L9, L10, L11, L12, L13, L20, L23, L24, L25, L26, L27, L28, and L31 as each of L4 to L31 is defined below, and wherein the black bold dots shown in the formulae of any one of L4 to L31 represent the attachment points of each of L4 to L31 to the S2, and wherein the attachment points are carbon atoms,
• viii) Z is selected from the group consisting of L4, L6, L7, L8, L9, L10, L11, L12, L13, L20, L23, L24, L25, L26, L27, L28, and L31 as each of L4 to L31 is defined below, and wherein the black bold dots shown in the formulae of any one of L4 to L31 represent the attachment points of each of L4 to L31 to the S3, and wherein the attachment points are carbon atoms,
