Recycling
Polymer dielectrics are a key component of organic thin film transistors, capacitors, and other electrical sensors. Our group designs, synthesizes, and characterizes different electrical and structural properties of novel polymers and their blends. We specifically prioritize bioderived and biodegradable materials and apply our considerable experience with nitroxide mediated polymerization to create purpose built, scalable, and green materials for next generation flexible organic electronics. Our main polymer research focuses on the design of novel random and block copolymers for OTFTs and sensors, the study of interfacial interactions between device layers, and the development of cross-linking functionalities to optimize device performance while building in recyclability and industrial scalability.
