Organic Material Synthesis

科学界准备取得重大技术突破，以推动光伏、发光二极管和场效应管等灵活、轻便、低成本的电子设备的发展。共轭有机材料，如碳纳米管共轭聚合物，是这些新兴技术的核心，因此，人们致力于它们的组装和功能化。这里提出的研究将建立在Schipper教授在应用于共轭材料的合成化学方面的强大背景的基础上，以取得突破性进展，促进新技术的发展。尖端的自下而上的合成方法将为有机电子应用中长期存在的关键问题提供解决方案。

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, such as carbon nanotubes conjugated polymers, are at the core of these emerging technologies, therefore, great effort is dedicated to their assembly and functionalization. The research proposed here will build on Prof. Schipper strong background in synthetic chemistry applied to conjugated materials to make breakthroughs that will advance nascent technologies. Cutting-edge bottom-up synthetic approaches will provide solutions to long-standing and critical problems in organic electronic applications.
