10 Dec 2014 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Bryan W. Boudouris
Organic Electronic Devices is a five week course that explores electronic materials that are defined broadly as carbon-based materials that are capable of transporting charge both in liquid-supported systems and in the solid state. Traditionally, two classes of organic electronic...
Non-Conjugated Radical Polymers as an Emerging Class of Transparent Conductors for Flexible Polymer Thermoelectric Applications
21 Jul 2014 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Bryan W. Boudouris
Thermoelectric devices are capable of converting low-value waste heat energy into higher value electricity in a silent, direct manner and without the need for moving parts. As such, they present themselves as promising, environmentally-friendly energy conversion modules. Polymer-based...
Design of Optoelectronically-active Polymers for Organic Photovoltaic Applications
08 Feb 2013 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Bryan W. Boudouris
Organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices are of great interest due to their promise of providing flexible, lightweight, and inexpensive alternatives to their currently-used inorganic counterparts. However, large-scale implementation of these modules has been hampered due to their relatively low power...
