Our group develops and investigates a broad family of pi-conjugated polymers for redox and optoelectronic applications; especially those involving electrochromism, photovoltaics, light emission, and charge transport. We have a strong synthetic component, both monomeric and polymeric, with over half of the group involved in syntheses. Electrochemical and spectroscopic characterizations help us determine polymer properties and are complemented by colorimetric, quartz crystal microgravimetric, and other analytical methods. We carry our work through to prototype device construction and testing as we develop absorptive/transmissive and reflective electrochromic devices, polymer-based solar cells, and light emitting devices. Collaboration with colleagues on the University campus, along with those at other institutions and companies, are especially directed to further applications of these multi-functional materials.
