Organic Material Synthesis

科学界正准备取得重大的技术突破，这将使柔性、轻量化、低成本的电子设备，如光伏、发光二极管和场效应晶体管的进步成为可能。共轭有机材料是这些新兴技术的核心。因此，在它们的组装和功能化方面付出了很大的努力。材料性能的改善源于新分子结构的设计和合成的进步。作为加拿大有机材料合成研究主席，我将从事旨在发现生产这些材料的新方法的研究，这将提高我们更有效地应用当前技术的能力，并简化发现具有增强性能的新材料的过程。

The scientific community is poised to make significant technological breakthroughs that will enable the advancement of flexible, lightweight, low-cost electronic devices such as photovoltaics, light emitting diodes and field-effect transistors. Conjugated organic materials are at the core of these emerging technologies. Therefore, great effort is dedicated to their assembly and functionalization. Improvements of the material properties arise from advances in the design and synthesis of new molecular architectures. As Canada Research Chair in Organic Material Synthesis, I will undertake research aimed at discovering new ways to produce these materials which will enhance our ability to apply current technology more efficiently and streamline the discovery of new materials with enhanced properties.
