Burroughs

A. Burroughs,Criticismfrom aEaboratory, Little Brown Co., Boston, Mass., 1938. 

We are grateful to Dr. Azat Badretdinov and Mr. Eric Feyfant for many discussions about comparative protein structure modeling. AF is a Burroughs Wellcome Fellow. RS is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute predoctoral fellow. FM is a Norman and Rosita Winston Biomedical Research Foundation Fellow. AS is a Sinsheimer Scholar and an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow. The investigations have also been aided by grants from NIH (GM 54762) and NSF (BIR-9601845). 

By 1988, a number of devices such as a MOSFET transistor had been developed by the use of poly(acetylene) (Burroughes et al. 1988), but further advances in the following decade led to field-effect transistors and, most notably, to the exploitation of electroluminescence in polymer devices, mentioned in Friend s 1994 survey but much more fully described in a later, particularly clear paper (Friend et al. 1999). The polymeric light-emitting diodes (LEDs) described here consist in essence of a polymer film between two electrodes, one of them transparent, with careful control of the interfaces between polymer and electrodes (which are coated with appropriate films). PPV is the polymer of choice.
