Single molecule studies of structure-property relationships in well-defined conjugated oligomers and push-pull conjugated polymers
(2017-05)
The electronic properties of conjugated polymers are strongly dependent on their morphologies. Despite continuous research efforts in conjugated polymers (CPs) as a promising alternative to traditional inorganic semiconductors ...
Synthesis of conjugated polymers and block copolymers via catalyst transfer polycondensation
(2013-08)
Conjugated polymers hold tremendous potential as low-cost, solution processable materials for electronic applications such organic light-emitting diodes and photovoltaics. While the concerted efforts of many research groups ...
Studies of conjugated polymer thin film morphology : effect on emission and charge transport
(2007-05)
Since their discovery, semiconducting conjugated polymers have shown great
promise as active materials for a range of electronic devices. Initially desired for
their high quantum yield, conjugated polymers have become ...

Single molecule study on the conformation, orientation and diffusion anisotropy of conjugated polymer chains in a liquid crystal matrix
(2007)
The nature of the solvent plays an important role in the conformation and orientation of polymers in solution. A particularly interesting case is when the solvent itself possesses order, such as when dissolving the polymer ...
Catalytic and polymer composite applications of graphite oxide and the controlled synthesis of donor-acceptor conjugated polymers
(2015-05)
While much of the recent work regarding carbon materials has centered on monolayer graphene, we have focused on the relatively inexpensive, and readily accessible graphite oxide (GO) and thermally-reduced graphite oxide ...
The use of new reactions for novel polymerizations, polymers and architectures
(2008-12)
The design, synthesis and characterization of novel conjugated polymers are described. Using a coupling reaction recently developed within our labs, polymers were constructed through triazene linkages generated by joining ...
Ensemble and single molecules fluorescence studies of polymers
(2007-12)
The effects of chain conformation on the photo-oxidation and green emission of poly(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl) (PFO) are investigated at both single molecule and ensemble levels. Single molecule studies reveal the ...
Electrochemical and electrogenerated chemiluminescence studies of the BODIPY dyes
(2011-08)
Electrochemical and electrogenerated chemiluminescence properties of the BODIPY (boron dipyrromethene) dyes are presented. Some specific features of the BODIPY dyes are obtained and described in the current dissertation. ...
Fluorescence microscopy of materials with energy applications
(2020-05-13)
One of the largest drivers of modern materials research is the advancement of renewable energy, particularly solar power. This objective has seen the rise of several different materials systems, each with their own ...
