Design Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Polydiacetylenes Using NewAnalytical Technique

摘要

During the project period significant progress were made in design, synthesis andanalysis of a number of electroactive polymers. Polymers were assessed for their structural features, electronic and optical properties and their application in molecular electronic devices. Substantial progress during the project period has led to expansion of research activities into a number of different areas including conducting monolayers, 3rd order nonlinear optical polymers and newly designed materials with second and 3rd nonlinear optical properties.
