Lehrstuhl für Makromolekulare Chemie I
Universität Bayreuth | KeyLab Koordinator
Tailored synthesis of functional molecules, polymers, block copolymers and their structure/morphology studies and application in diverse devices. Specifically, we are interested in:
- Functional chromophores and photoswitches:
Synthesis of fluorescent dyes, combination with photoswitchable units and optical transsitors, microwave and flow reactors - Conjugated polyelectrolytes and bioelectronics:
Synthesis of well-ordered conjugated polylectrolytes and application in electrochemical transsistors to detect and assay biological molecules and cells - Fully functionalized / amphiphilic diblock copolymers for solar cell applications:
Synthetic techniques such as NMRP, RAFT, KCTP towards tailored block copolymers, application in organic and hybrid solar cells, charge transport measurements. - Charge transport polymers for sensors and dosimetry to detect pollutants:
Tuning of chemical structure of charge transport polymers to detect and assay pollutants such as NOx, SO2 - Device preparation and analysis:
Solar cells, Organic field effect transistors, Diodes and transient charge recombination studies
