U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Time-Resolved Optical Characterization of Electroluminescent Conducting Polymers

0089641古斯塔夫森美国-法国化学合作研究涉及特里L。Gustafson，俄亥俄州州立大学，Guy Buntinx和Olivier Pozat，法国里尔，里尔科技大学。他们合作的目的是对几种相关单体、低聚物、嵌段共聚物和聚合物在溶液和薄膜中的物理性质进行系统的研究。 美国研究人员为这次合作带来了模型低聚物和导电聚合物方面的专业知识。 法国在分子系统物理学方面的专门知识对此作了补充。 该项目还利用了补充仪器方法。美国小组将利用ps时间分辨荧光光谱和ns时间分辨红外光谱。法国小组在飞秒和纳秒瞬态拉曼光谱和吸收光谱方面经验丰富。该奖项代表了美国方面向NSF和法国国家科学研究中心（CNRS）提出的联合建议。 NSF将支付美国研究员和研究生的旅费和生活费。 CNRS将支持法国研究人员访问美国。该合作将推进对电致发光导电聚合物的基本理解，特别是导电过程，辐射和非辐射途径的控制，以及聚合物之间以及聚合物与金属之间界面的相互作用性质。

0089641GustafsonThis three-year award for U.S.-France cooperative research in chemistry involves Terry L. Gustafson, Ohio State University, Guy Buntinx and Olivier Pozat of the Universite des Sciences and Technologies de Lille, Lille, France. The objective of their collaboration is to conduct systematic investigations of photophysical properties of several related monomers, oligomers, segmented block co-polymers, and polymers in solution and as thin films. The U.S. investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in model oligomers and conducting polymers. This is complemented by French expertise in the photophysics of molecular systems. The project also takes advantage of complementary instrument methodologies. The US group will utilize ps time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy and ns time-resolved infrared spectroscopy. The French group are experienced in fs and ns transient Raman spectroscopy and absorption spectroscopy. This award represents the US side of a joint proposal to NSF and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). NSF will cover travel funds and living expenses for the US investigator and graduate student. The CNRS will support the visits of French researchers to the United States. The collaboration will advance fundamental understanding of electroluminescent conducting polymers, in particular, the conduction process, the control of radiative and non-radiative pathways, and the nature of interactions at the interfaces between polymers, and between a polymer and metal.
