This award will support collaborative research between U.S. and Belgian scientists in the area of development and characterization of conjugated polymers. The U.S. investigators are Drs. A.J. Heeger and Fred Wudl, University of California, Santa Barbara. The Belgian collaborator is Professor Jean-Luc Bredas, University of Mons. The joint project will focus on the following three topics: 1) development and characterization of new polymer materials with small band gaps (2) evaluation of the electronic properties of soluble conducting polymers and (3) the role of charged nonlinear excitations (solitons, polarons and bipolarons) in the nonlinear optical properties of conjugated polymers. The investigators have a history of successful collaboration, based on their complementary expertise. Dr. Bredas has a background in quantum chemistry and has made outstanding contributions to the theory of quasi-one- dimensional solids and in particular to conducting polymers. The U.S. researchers have carried out leading experimental investigations in the area of highly conducting organic solids. The results of the proposed project will contribute to increased understanding of this important area of materials research, which has many potential industrial applications.

该奖项将支持美国和比利时科学家在共轭聚合物的开发和表征领域的合作研究。 美国调查人员是博士。 A.J. Heeger 和 Fred Wudl，加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校。 比利时合作者是蒙斯大学的 Jean-Luc Bredas 教授。 该联合项目将重点关注以下三个主题：1）小带隙新型聚合物材料的开发和表征；（2）可溶性导电聚合物的电子性能评估；（3）带电非线性激发（孤子、极化子和双极化子）在共轭聚合物非线性光学性能中的作用。 研究人员有着基于互补专业知识的成功合作历史。 Bredas 博士拥有量子化学背景，对准一维固体理论，特别是导电聚合物理论做出了杰出贡献。 美国研究人员在高导电有机固体领域开展了领先的实验研究。 拟议项目的结果将有助于加深对材料研究这一重要领域的了解，该领域具有许多潜在的工业应用。
