Design of a monomer is a viable route for adjusting the properties of its corresponding polymer. The main goal of this study is to design and synthesize novel soluble polymers having various colors of color palette and amenable for use in electrochromic device applications. In designing the monomers, the factors affecting the properties of the polymers are also considered. For this purpose, each part of the monomers is chosen properly for each desirable properties and the effect of them is investigated separetely. Thus, this study is based on the investigation of the effect of three major parts on the polymer properties: Donor groups, acceptor groups and the length of alkyl chain. For this aim, nine D-A-D type monomers, TSeT, ESeE, PSeP-C10, PSP-C10, PNP-C10, POP-C10, PSeP-C4, PSP-C4 and PSP-C6, and their corresponding polymers, P(TSeT), P(ESeE), P(PSeP-C10), P(PSP-C10), P(PNP-C10), P(POP-C10), P(PSeP-C4), P(PSP-C4) and P(PSP-C6), based on thiophene, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT), and 3,3-dialkyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b]-[1,4]dioxepine (ProDOT-Cn) as D units and 2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole, 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole, 2-decyl-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole, and 2,1,3-benzooxadiazole as A units were synthesized. The obtained polymers have somewhat low band gap between 1.13 eV and 1.80 eV, they show electrochromic behaviors. Among them P(POP-C10), P(PSP-C10) and P(PSP-C6) have cyan color which is one leg of CMY (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow) color spaces. Since there have been scant studies on cyan colored polymers in the literature, these polymers are so precious. Via copolymerization of PNP-C10 and PSeP-C10, the first electrochemically synthesized neutral state black polymer was obtained.

Synthesis and characterization of ethanol electro-oxidation catalysts
Demir-Kıvrak, Hilal; Üner, Deniz; Kuliyev, Sadig; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010)
In this study, the role of defects, the role of Sn in relation to defects, and the role of oxide phase of tin in ethanol electro-oxidation reaction were investigated. Firstly, adsorption calorimetry measurements were conducted on monometallic (1%Pt, 2%Pt, and 5%Pt) and bi-metallic (5% Pt-Sn) γ-Al2O3 supported Pt catalysts. It was observed that while saturation coverage values decreased, intermediate heats remained same for Pt-Sn catalysts by the increasing amount of tin. The effect of particle size was inve...
Design Parameters and Principles of Liquid-Crystal-Templated Synthesis of Polymeric Materials via Photolithography
AKDENİZ, BURAK; Büküşoğlu, Emre (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019-10-08)
The design parameters and principles for the synthesis of polymeric microscopic objects using a method that combines photolithography and liquid crystal (LC) molecular templates have been demonstrated. Specifically, mixtures of a reactive mesogen (RM257) and nonreactive LC (E7) were polymerized using UV light and a photomask. We used photomasks with circular, triangular, rectangular, square, star-shaped, and heart-shaped features to provide initial shapes to the objects. Then, the unreacted parts were extra...
Enhancing electrochromic and kinetic properties of poly(2,3-bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)-5,8-di(1H-pyrrol-2-yl) quinoxaline) by copolymerization
Celebi, Selin; Baran, Derya; Balan, Abidin; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2010-02-28)
Electrochemical copolymerization was utilized to combine several properties into a single material in order to obtain a highly stable polymer with a low band gap to meet the requirements for color variation. In that sense, two new donor acceptor type electrochromic copolymers of 2,3-bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)5,8-di(1H-pyrrol-2-yl) quinoxaline (TBPPQ) with bis(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (BiEDOT) and with 4,7-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-2-dodecyl-2H-benzo [ 1,231 triazole (BEBT) were synthesiz...
Electrochemical Hydride Generation and Atom Trapping Atomic Absorption Spectrometry for Determination of Antimony
Menemenlioğlu, İpek; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Department of Chemistry (2004)
Electrochemical hydride generation is a suitable alternative to common hydride generation by NaBH4 which is widely used for the detection of volatile elements such as As, Se, Sb, Sn, Bi, Ge, Te and Pb. In this study, a thin-layer flow through electrochemical cell was designed. Lead and platinum foils were employed as cathode and anode materials, respectively, for the generation of antimony hydride. Argon was used as the carrier gas. The inlet arm of the conventional quartz tube atomizer was used for on-line...
Molecular architecture: Another plausible pathway toward a low band gap polymer
Tarkuc, Simge; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2010-05-01)
A donor-acceptor-donor pi-conjugated monomer (10,13-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)dibenzo[a,c]phenazine (PHED)) composed of bi-EDOT and dibenzo[a,c]phenazine repeat units was synthesized to examine the role of acceptor structure on the electronic and optoelectronic properties of the polymer. The spectroelectrochemical analysis showed that the introduction of electron-accepting unit results in a shift in the onset of the pi-pi* transition towards longer wavelengths. The optical band gap (Eg) f...
