Abstract
Organic semiconductors have been demonstrated to be attractive materials in a range of emerging products including flexible displays, transparent solar cells, biosensors and solar fuels. Understanding the impact of chemical design on the application properties is critical for further advances. We have explored a range of synthetic strategies and molecular concepts, and measured a range of relevant morphological, electrical and optical properties in order to establish fundamental structure-property relationships. This presentation will illustrate some case study designs and characterisation of semiconducting polymers, in order to enhance their application properties.
This talk is a part of the Chemistry Materials Research Interest Group Seminar series.
Professor Iain McCulloch is a Professor of Polymer Chemistry, in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford, UK. He also holds a joint position as Professor of Polymer Materials within the Program of Chemical Sciences at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia, and serves as Director of the KAUST Solar Center. Iain McCulloch is also a Visiting Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Imperial College London.
