Electroactive Polymers--Application to Analysis, Catalysis and Fundamental Studies

9311694埃利奥特这个项目属于分析和表面化学的一般领域，以及电化学的子领域。在这39个月的持续资助期间，埃利奥特教授和他的学生将研究电活性聚合物的各种基础和应用化学方面。将在三个主要领域开展工作。首先，我们将探索Nafion膜固定在电极表面的Ru功能化的卟啉作为烯烃电化学检测器的有效性。在第二个实验中，将评价聚N-甲基吡咯修饰电极作为水溶液中一碳和二碳多氯烷烃的检测器。在第三个推力区，将制备新的双吡啶基烷基聚合物，并评估其作为制备聚合物修饰电极的坚固导电膜的性能。这些材料有望成为有效的电催化剂。%这项研究的目标的成功实现将使新型修饰电极传感器的开发成为可能，这将非常有助于环境入侵物种的监测。此外，本项目中目标为合成和评估的新型导电聚合物材料有望在技术上有重大应用。***

9311694 Elliott This project is in the general area of analytical and surface chemistry and in the subfield of electrochemistry. During the tenure of this thirty-nine month continuing grant, Professor Elliott and his students will investigate various fundamental and applied chemical aspects of electroactive polymers. Three thrust areas will be pursued. In the first, the efficacy of Nafion membrane immobilized ruthenium functionalized porphyrins on electrode surfaces as electrochemical detectors for olefins will be explored. In the second, poly N-methyl pyrrole modified electrodes will be evaluated as detectors for one- and two-carbon polychloroalkanes in aqueous solution. In the third thrust area, new bisbipyridylalkane-based polymers will be prepared and evaluated as robust conducting films for preparing polymer modified electrodes. These materials hold promise as effective electrocatalytic agents. %%% The successful attainment of the goals of this research could enable the development of new classes of modified electrode sensors which would be quite useful as monitors of environmentally invasive species. Additionally, new conducting polymeric materials targeted for synthesis and evaluation in this project are expected to have significant technological applications. ***
