1. Even if a satisfying laboratory-scale synthesis of such a polymer has been established, there remain critical issues, such as costs, upscaling, or the avoidance of chlorinated solvents for processing. (Prog. Polym. Sci. 2013, 38, 1832-1908.)

2. One should not judge and determine a particular material’s performance solely by the device value. (Chem. Rev. 2009, 102, 5868-5923.)

3. It is obviously needed to design more experiments in order to support the proposed mechanism. (Chapter 2)

4. Applications of organolithium reagents in the synthesis of π-conjugated polymers deserve more study. (Chapter 4)

5. 1% conversion is much better than no conversion at all.

6. It is better not to use common sense when doing scientific research.

7. The best way to deal with railway constructions in The Netherlands is to prepare yourself in advance but not complain on the NS bus.
