| Abstract | ABSTRACT: The primary goal of the IREE supplemental award was to establish an international collaboration with a world-class chemistry department, Department of Solid State and Structural Chemistry, Indian Institute of Science (IISc)-Bangalore, India (in Prof. Satish Patil’s group). The research group in IISc excels in the synthesis and characterization of novel conjugated polymers, polymer composites, and new organic-inorganic hybrid materials for organic optoelectronics. Several parallel projects involving novel donor-acceptor-donor molecules for application in light-emitting devices and thin-film transistors, composite organic-inorganic semiconductors for photovoltaic applications, and ionic liquid crystals have resulted out of the PI’s three-month visit to IISc. In addition to opening up new routes for synthesis of organic-inorganic composites, our approach has the potential of moulding new material properties, which have unique potentials for technological applications. The goal is to develop these areas into a concise project on functionalized hybrid organic-inorganic systems for optoelectronics applications, involving theorists and other experimentalists. |
