A new family of polyarylene derivatives is proposed which are of interest and potentially useful in a variety of high performance, optoelectronic, and high yield carbon applications. Polyarylenes, in general, are currently limited by poor melt and solution processability and traditional strategies to improve processability typically sacrifice performance. To enable the use of polyarylenes as fabricated high performance materials and as functional hybrid molecular composites, the proposed research will provide access to polyarylene networks from processable intermediates. The recently discovered synthetic approach consists of three steps starting from commercial bisphenols and affords bis-ortho-diynylarene(BODA) monomers in high yield. When heated, BODA tetraynes undergo Bergman cyclopolymerization and further thermal cure results in high performance networks, optoelectroactive materials, and high yield semiconductor glassy carbon. As a significant extension to this projects preliminary results, this work seeks to: (1) Prepare new BODA compounds and determine structure/property relationships for both thermal and catalytic/initiated routes. (2) Combine monomers and reactive intermediates with inorganic spacers, metal complexes, sol-gel precursors, and polymer electrolytes. (3) Expand preliminary microfabrication and pyrolysis studies to tailored semi-conductive glassy carbon and carbon/inorganic hybrid molecular composites.This project offers a new approach to processable and property-timable architectures for advanced application such as light emitting diodes, optical waveguides, low dielectric insulators, polymer electrolyte membranes, membrane electrode assemblies, and bipolar plates for batteries and fuel cells, microelectro/magnetomechanical systems, and microsemiconductors for optical signal processors, sensors, and switches. An inter-disciplinary approach spanning synthesis, materials science, polymer physics, and device fabrication is planned. Over the next five years, the proposed education and outreach plan will: (1) Establish an interdisciplinary basic polymer science curriculum that complements the rich variety of applied polymer studies currently offered at Clemson University. (2) Expose undergraduate and graduate students to inter-disciplinary collaborations on campus and industrial cooperative education/internships. (3) Team with the Intersociety Polymer Education Council (IPEC) and education faculty to implement a plan for teacher training workshops in polymer chemistry. (4) Use current and future positions at the national ACS level to enhance the local ACS section and extend leadership to the student affiliate programs.

提出了一个新的聚亚芳基衍生物家族，该衍生物在各种高性能、光电和高产率碳应用中具有重要意义和潜在用途。 一般来说，聚亚芳基目前受到较差的熔融和溶液加工性能的限制，而改善加工性能的传统策略通常会牺牲性能。 为了使聚亚芳基能够用作制造的高性能材料和功能杂化分子复合材料，拟议的研究将提供从可加工中间体获得聚亚芳基网络的途径。 最近发现的合成方法由三个步骤组成，从商业双酚开始，并以高产率提供双邻二芳基芳烃（BODA）单体。 加热时，BODA 四炔会发生伯格曼环聚合，并进一步热固化，产生高性能网络、光电活性材料和高产率半导体玻碳。 作为该项目初步结果的重要延伸，这项工作旨在：（1）制备新的 BODA 化合物并确定热和催化/引发路线的结构/性质关系。 (2)将单体和反应中间体与无机间隔物、金属配合物、溶胶-凝胶前体和聚合物电解质结合。 (3) 将初步的微加工和热解研究扩展到定制的半导体玻璃碳和碳/无机杂化分子复合材料。该项目为先进应用（例如发光二极管、光波导、低介电绝缘体、聚合物电解质膜、膜电极组件和 用于电池和燃料电池的双极板、微电子/磁机械系统以及用于光信号处理器、传感器和开关的微半导体。 计划采用涵盖合成、材料科学、聚合物物理学和器件制造的跨学科方法。 在未来五年中，拟议的教育和推广计划将：（1）建立跨学科的基础聚合物科学课程，以补充克莱姆森大学目前提供的丰富的应用聚合物研究。 （2）让本科生和研究生参与校园跨学科合作和产业合作教育/实习。 (3) 与国际高分子教育委员会 (IPEC) 和教育学院合作实施高分子化学教师培训讲习班计划。 (4) 利用当前和未来在国家 ACS 级别的职位来加强当地 ACS 部门并将领导力扩展到学生附属项目。
