Aggregation behaviour in solution of cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers
In the proposed experiments we extend previous work on characterization of aggregates formed by cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers in water. Particular emphasis will be... -
Sub-micron structure of conjugated polymer interfaces
There are two contributions to the rms roughness of a polymer-polymer interface; i) the so-called ¿intrinsic interfacial width¿ due to mixing of the polymers at a molecular... -
Validating calorimetric self aggregation models: Self aggregation of cationic...
Ligand self aggregation is a common problem when studying interactions with bio(macro)molecules. In particular for techniques requiring relatively high ligand concentrations,... -
Off-specular reflectivity from conjugated polymer heterojunctions
Using conjugated polymers as the active materials in electronic and optoelectronic devices opens up the possibility of fabricating all-polymer devices, such as active matrix... -
Solid state processing of conjugated polymer-fullerene blends
Blends of fullerenes with conjugated polymers (CP), such as PCBM-P3HT blends, are being extensively investigated for polymer photovoltaic applications. We have been studying the... -
Metal ion induced condensation of anionic fluorine-based conjugated polyelect...
In the proposed experiments we aim to characterise the structures of aggregate species formed when divalent metal ions, such as calcium(II), interact with the anionic conjugated... -
Interfacial structure in self-assembling conjugated polymer photovoltaic devices
The proposal aims to determine the degree of interfacial mixing and roughness at an interface between two conjugated polymers, as part of a broder program to understand how to... -
Aggregation behaviour in solution of cationic conjugated polymers and oligomers
We extend previous work on aggregates formed by cationic conjugated oligomers in water with surfactants and... -
A study of hole injection efficiency for a model conjugated bilayer system
Polymer-based electronics have attracted huge interest due to their wide applicability to light emitting diodes, field effect transistors and photovoltaics. The aim of our... -
