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

9311694 Elliott这个项目属于分析化学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，Elliott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。将追求三个推力区域。首先，研究了在电极表面固定化钌功能化卟啉作为烯烃电化学检测器的效果。其次，聚n -甲基吡咯修饰电极将被评估为水溶液中一碳和二碳聚氯烷的检测器。在第三个重点领域，新的双联吡啶烷基聚合物将被制备并评估为制备聚合物修饰电极的坚固导电膜。这些材料有望成为有效的电催化剂。本研究目标的成功实现将使新型改良电极传感器的开发成为可能，这些传感器将在监测环境入侵物种方面非常有用。此外，本项目旨在合成和评价的新型导电高分子材料有望具有重要的技术应用价值。＊＊＊

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. ***
