MRSEC Seminar Series with Dr. John Reynolds
Primary tabs
Future electronic devices will be transparent, curved, flexible, stretchable, and interfaced with soft biological systems, thus, technologically relevant materials need to satisfy a combination of properties. IRG-2 will develop and study new classes of redox-doped p-conjugated organic molecules, oligomers, and polymers, in which the total interaction energy and packing between the matrix material and dopants are controlled by chemical structure and processing and tune the electronic coupling between neighboring matrix moieties. Supramolecular control of structure will allow for the design and demonstration of doped materials with strong intermolecular/interchain electronic couplings that can be strategically processed (e.g., via shear processing) into self-organized and highly ordered films with high (near-metallic) conductivity (see schematic below) in combination with other properties such as tunable work function, high thermal conductivity, mechanical flexibility, and biocompatibility.
IRG -2 Team Members: Jean-Luc Brédas, Baratunde Cola, Samuel Graham, Asegun Henry, Bernard Kippelen, Seth Marder, Zhenan Bao (Stanford), Lynn Loo (Princeton)
