The MPS Distinguished International Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (MPS-DRF) enables U.S. scientists to conduct research abroad. The fellowship allows awardees to establish long-term international collaborations that will benefit them and the U.S. scientific community by developing international connections and perspectives in future science leaders.This award will support a 24-month research fellowship for Dr. Matthew T Stone to work with Professor Harry L. Anderson and his group at the University of Oxford, UK. The proposed work will develop a new generation of semi-conducting polymers for applications such as field-effect transistors, photovoltaic diodes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The lower fabrication costs of these novel materials will lead to the development of commercial products such as polymer LED displays. This work will be accomplished through a systematic approach to establish a synthesis of relatively soluble and stable linear polyacenes by molecularly insulating them with cyclodextrins.Professor Anderson is a leader in this area of research and has an international reputation in the sub-field of conducting polymers. Pro. Anderson's Oxford labs are ideally set up for the proposed research project, and have additional collaborations locally (e.g., University College London) to aid in the performance characterization of the proposed materials. This broadening experience will provide Dr. Stone with a strong foundation to return to the U.S. to pursue his plans for an academic career in a research area of growing importance.

MPS杰出国际博士后奖学金计划（MPS-DRF）使美国科学家能够在国外进行研究。该奖学金允许获奖者建立长期的国际合作，这将有利于他们和美国科学界通过发展国际联系和未来的科学领导者的观点。该奖项将支持24个月的研究奖学金博士。英国牛津大学的安德森和他的小组。拟议的工作将开发新一代半导体聚合物，用于场效应晶体管，光伏二极管和发光二极管（LED）等应用。这些新型材料的较低制造成本将导致商业产品的发展，如聚合物LED显示器。这项工作将通过一种系统的方法来完成，即通过用环糊精将它们分子绝缘来建立相对可溶和稳定的线性聚并苯的合成。安德森教授是这一研究领域的领导者，在导电聚合物子领域享有国际声誉。Pro.安德森的牛津实验室是为拟议的研究项目而设立的，并且在当地有额外的合作（例如，伦敦大学学院），以帮助对拟定材料进行性能表征。这种不断扩大的经验将为斯通博士提供一个坚实的基础，使他能够回到美国，在一个日益重要的研究领域继续他的学术生涯计划。
