Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The project is focussed on exploring new electronic and optical phenomena arising in well-defined nanoscopic self-assemblies of bi-functional conjugated block copolymers. The proposal brings together four internationally leading groups with complementary expertise in conjugated polymer synthesis, polymer processing, structural characterization of polymers and conjugated polymer device fabrication and device physics. Within this highly interdisciplinary and collaborative program the partners will design, prepare, process, and characterize electrically, optically and structurally novel conjugated block copolymer architectures and self-assembled supramolecular block copolymers, and incorporate them into novel nanoscale electronic devices. We regard conjugated block copolymers as an ideal model system to study some of the fundamental interactions that control molecular selfassembly as well as to achieve sufficient control over the length scales and degree of self-organisation such that controlled electrical transport measurements and optical characterization can be performed to study the electronic and optical properties of such molecular nanoscale assemblies.
