| This session focuses on application of polymer chemistry and physics to address energy-related issues. Topics include polymers for renewable resources, conducting polymers, organic light emitting diodes, and photovoltaic devices. Submissions are invited concerning new materials and molecules, green processing of commodity polymers, characterization (e.g. morphology, orientation, and intrinsic electronic properties), simulation and modeling, novel device applications, and particularly research efforts which establish ties between the above issues. |
