Optoelectronic polymers

Recently, Stupp and co-workers, as well as others, have utilized the DPPF or f-Bu3P/Pd-catalyst to prepare substituted triarylamines in high yield, Eq. (36) [66]. The product below was used to prepare 4-diphenylaminostysene, which was incorporated into an optoelectronic polymer.

K. Matyjaszewski in 1990. After he joined Prof. C. K. Ober s research group in the Department of Materials Science Engineering at Cornell University as a postdoctoral associate for 2 years, working with the development and applications of optoelectronic polymers, he returned to Korea in 1993 and worked to develop polymeric photonic devices as a Project Leader at the Photonic Switching Section at the Electronics Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) for IV2 years. He became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Polymer Science Engineering at Hannam University. Professor Kim was the recipient of the Excellent Scientist Award of the Korean Chemical Society for Polymer Chemistry in 1998. He has published more than 95 communications, papers, and review articles, a number of chapters in books, and 13 patents. 

An important theme of this volume is the interrelationships among materials chemistry, photonic and optoelectronic properties, and device performance. The design and synthesis of novel polymer compositions and architectures aimed at enhanced properties are emphasized in some chapters. Other contributions feature the development of novel approaches to processing and fabrication of photonic and optoelectronic polymers into thin films, multilayers, fibers, waveguides, gratings, and device structures. These approaches, which emphasize polymer synthesis, processing, and device fabrication, are complementary and synergistic. 

The interdisciplinary nature of many of the chapters suggests that chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, and others interested in the design, synthesis, and processing of diverse photonic and optoelectronic polymers will find this volume useful. This book will also be valuable to physicists, electrical engineers, optical engineers, and others concerned with the design, fabrication, and evaluation of polymer-based electronic, optoelectronic, and photonic devices and components.
