π-Conjugated polymers have continued to demonstrate their relevance and ability to be used in next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices. Nanowires formed from semiconducting polymers can be easily produced and aligned, which considerably enhances the polymer’s properties, such as charge transport. This review discusses recent advances in the formation and alignment of semiconducting polymer nanowires. This includes whisker growth and self-assembly methods, as well as methods of nanoscopic confinement through composites and blends. Next, this review explores how semiconducting polymer nanowires have been successfully implemented in field-effect devices, sensors, and thermoelectrics.
