Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH)-Based Conjugated Macrocycles and Polymers For Electronic Applications
(2014)
and a 2,2'-bithiophene with varied substituents as the donor unit have been prepared. The bandgaps of these polymers depend strongly on the dihedral angle of the 2,2'-bithiophene unit. The 3,3'-dialkoxy substitution (polymers 41/42) leads to near planar...
Synthesis, self-assembly and applications of tribenzopenta-phene derivatives and triphenylene-based conjugated foldamers
(2013)
approaches to tribenzopentaphene (TBP) derivatives are reported and their optical, electrochemical, self-assembly, and photovoltaic properties are studied. It is shown that TBP derivatives are good electron donors which, when coated on pre...
Synthesis, Characterization and Device Studies of Conjugated Foldamers
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Conjugated polymers have found a wide range of electronic applications in last few
decades due to their superior combination of optoelectronic, mechanical properties, and
solution processability. In the past few years, ...
Synthesis, morphologies and applications of polyoxometalate-containing diblock copolymers
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-31)
Block copolymers by virtue of their ability to self assemble and microphaseseparation
due to the contrast in chemical and physical properties of the covalently linked
blocks constitute the essential building blocks towards ...
Studies of Conjugated Small Molecules, Polymers and Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Materials for Photovoltaic Applications
(2015)
This dissertation focuses on the photophysical properties and device studies of three different types of materials, namely polyoxometalate (POM)-containing organic-inorganic hybrids, near-IR absorbing conjugated polymers ...
Design, synthesis, characterization and photovoltaic applications of conjugated polymer hybrids containing coordinatively binded semiconducting nanocrystals
(2014-07-17)
polymer. They are found to form close and intimate contacts with both TiO2 through carboxylic acid binding and P3HT polymer presumably by way of π–π interaction. The resulting hybrid solar cells showed the highest photocurrent ever reported among...
Synthesis and Electrocatalytic Properties of Structure Engineered First-Row Transition Metal Derivatives
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2018)
Hydrogen is a green energy carrier, producing only water when combusted, and a
hydrogen economy has been considered the ideal green economy for human society. Water
electrolysis can produce high-purity hydrogen on a ...
Discovery and Delivery of Peptide-Based Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Targeting Pd-L1 for Cancer Immunotherapy
(2022)
The objective of this dissertation is to develop peptide-based immune checkpoint inhibitors that block the interaction between programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) and its receptor programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) ...
