| Course Objectives | The aim of the course focuses on the theories, synthetic methods, and basic physical aspects needed to understand the behavior and performance of conducting polymers. The course initially examines the theories behind conjugated materials and electron-lattice dynamics in organic systems. It also describes detail synthesis methods and electrical and physical properties of the full family of conducting polymers, including polyacetylenes, polyanilines, poly(arylene vinylenes), poly(arylene ethynylenes), and polyheterocycles. Finally, it concentrates on the numerous processing methods for conducting polymers and their integration into various devices and applications. |
