(565b) Molecular Conformation for Conjugated Polymers in Solution

Conjugated polymers are molecularly tunable to meet various end-use in energy harvesting and health monitoring. Typically they are solution-processed for various end-use. Currently, there is a lack of understanding on how those polymers assembly or aggregate in the solution state, thus hindering rational ink formulation to enable precise morphology control for deposited films. In this talk, I will discuss our work on solution assembly using various characterization tools with an emphasis on neutron scattering.
