Polymeric electrochromic materials that has as one of the three complementary colors (red, green, and blue) in the neutral form and become transparent via oxidation (or reduction), has a crucial importance towards use of these materials in electrochromic devices and displays. To reflect red or blue color in neutral state, the materials have to absorb at only one dominant wavelength. On the contrary, to have a green color, there should exist at least two simultaneous absorption bands in the red and blue regions of the visible spectrum where these bands should be controlled with the same applied potential. The transmissivity in the oxidized state is significantly important in addition to the neutral state color of the polymer. The optical contrast between the states is the decisive point for use of these materials for many electrochromic applications, especially as smart windows and displays. Hence, the material should possess two absorption bands with definite maximum points, and upon oxidation these bands should simultaneously vanish to have a transmissive state. A donor–acceptor approach can be utilized to solve this puzzle. It has been shown that insertion of alternating donor–acceptor units on the polymer backbone leads to a significant decrease in band gap due to the increased double bond character in the structure. In this study novel donor-acceptor type polymers were synthesized, and electrochromic properties were investigated in detail. PBDT is the first green electrochromic material which has a highly transmissive sky blue oxidized state. PDETQ was shown to be one of the few examples of neutral state green polymeric materials in literature. PDEQ has a bluish green color in the neutral state and a highly transmissive light blue oxidized state.

Novel phenanthrocarbazole containing conjugated polymers as high performance electrochromic materials Atakan, Gizem; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Department of Chemistry (2016) For potential application of electrochromic materials in display technologies, materials having additive or subtractive primary colors in their neutral states that switch to a highly tranmissive states are desired since the entire color spectrum can be created using these materials. The RGB color model requires three complementary colors; red, green and blue. Even though the RGB colored polymers in the electrochromic research area were fulfilled over the past decade, towards high quality display application...
Preparation and characterization of a new CdS-NiFe2O4/reduced graphene oxide photocatalyst and its use for degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation Bagherzadeh, Mojtaba; Kaveh, Reyhaneh; Özkar, Saim; AKBAYRAK, SERDAR (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-10-01) In this paper, CdS nanoparticles as a visible light active photocatalyst were coupled by NiFe2O4 and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to form CdS-NiFe2O4/rGO nanocomposite by facile hydrothermal methods. The CdS-NiFe2O4/rGO nanocomposite shows enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light illumination. In addition to improved photocatalytic performance, this prepared nanocomposite shows increased photostability and is magnetically separable from the aqueous medi...
Green as it Gets; Donor-Acceptor type Polymers as the Key to Realization of RGB Based Polymer Display Devices Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2009-07-08) Polymers that have one of the three complementary colors (red, green, and blue, RGB) in the neutral state and high transmissivity in the oxidized state are the key materials towards use in electrochromic devices and displays. Although many neutral state red and blue polymers have been reported up to date, green polymers with highly transmissive oxidized states, high optical contrasts, fast switching times, and advanced long-term switching stabilities were essentially missing in the literature. This paper re...
Novel donor-acceptor type polymers towards excellent neutral state green polymeric materials for realization of RGB based electrochromic device applications Günbaş, Görkem Emrullah; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2007) Polymers having one of the three complementary colors (red, green, and blue) in the reduced state and high transmissivity in the oxidized state are key materials towards use in electrochromic devices and displays. Although many neutral state red and blue polymers were reported up to date, neutral state green polymeric materials appear to be limited. For potential application of electrochromic materials in display technologies, one should have to create the entire color spectrum and this can be only achieved...
Synthesis of opaque and colored hollow polymer pigments Karakaya, Ekin; MAVİŞ, BORA; Gündüz, Güngör (2017-09-01) A parametric study was carried out to investigate the effects of process parameters on the properties of opaque and/or colored polymer pigment. The core was synthesized using methyl methacrylate (MMA), methacrylic acid (MAA), and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and the shell from styrene. The surfactant/water (S/W) ratio was changed between 0.56 and 1.46, and the best ratio was determined to be 0.97. The increase in the amount of MAA and the pH of the medium increases the diameter of the swollen particles. ...
