Innovative Stable Free Radical-Substituted Conjugated Electronic Polymers
FY 2023-24
Summary
The project aims to develop an innovative class of stable free radicals side-chain substituted conjugated donor-acceptor electronic polymers with unique polaronic and radical charge transport capabilities. The targeted(opto)electronic material class is unique and has not been explored in depth before. The combination of unpairedelectrons and delocalized backbone -electrons delivers exciting modes of charge transfer that provide these novelmaterials with clear potential as electroactive materials with applications in various nanoelectronics devices.Developing a fundamental understanding of charge transport properties and potential device applications willopen up a new field of research in advanced optoelectronic technology. This proposal is based on international collaboration with Prof. Prashant Sonar (Main applicant in Australia), Prof. Dongchen Qi and Prof. Steven Bottle who are based at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and have complementary expertise with respect to the Canadian applicant.
