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开发和表征领域的合作研究。美国调查人员是博士。加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的A.J. Heeger和Fred Wudl。比利时的合作者是蒙斯大学的让-卢克·布雷达斯教授。该联合项目将重点关注以下三个主题：1)具有小带隙的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特性评估；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特性中的作用。这两名调查人员基于互补的专业知识，有着成功合作的历史。布雷达斯博士具有量子化学背景，在准一维固体理论，特别是导电聚合物方面做出了杰出贡献。美国研究人员在高导电性有机固体领域进行了领先的实验研究。拟议项目的结果将有助于增加对这一重要材料研究领域的理解，这一领域具有许多潜在的工业应用。
