Research Thrust 3

Synthesis of Conjugated Polymers for Photovoltaics and Electrolyte Gated Transistors (EGTs)

Objectives: Synthesize and characterize low band gap semiconductors such as substituted regioregular poly-3-hexyl-thiophenes, regioregular alternating copolymers with variable chromophore density, discrete distyrylbenzene derivatives, and conjugated poly-p-phenylene vinylenes containing amino functionalities.

Faculty: UTRGV: Yuanbing Mao and Jose Gutierrez (Lead); UMN: Dan Frisbie and Marc Hillmyer.
