The synthesis and optoelectronic properties of biphenyl based conjugated copolymers with varying acceptor units in the polymer backbone were investigated. The well known Donor-Acceptor Theory was used to establish the synthetic pathway for the structural modifications. Solubility issues regarding biphenyl polymer was solved by copolymerizing with soluble units. For this purpose; poly 4-(biphenyl-4-yl)- 4’-tert butylspiro[benzo[d]imidazole-2,1’-cyclohexane] (P1), poly 4-(biphenyl-4-yl)- 2- dodecyl-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole (P2) and poly(4-(5-(biphenyl-4-yl)-4-hexylthiophen- 2-yl)-2-dodecyl-7-(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole (P3) were synthetized using Suzuki coupling process. Electrochemical properties of these polymers were examined by cyclic voltammetry, spectroelectrochemistry and kinetic studies. Polymers P2 and P3 showed both p- and n-doping behaviors and multicolored electrochromic states. Optical studies revealed that emission color of biphenyl is tuned from blue to orange and the polymers are good candidates for light emitting diode applications. OLED application of P3 was established and outputs of the device were increased by energy transfer studies. The preliminary investigation indicated that P3 possesses promising efficiencies.

Thermal analysis of a new thiophene derivative and its copolymer Aslan, E.; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2008-06-01) Thermal characteristics of a new thiophene derivative, 2-(thiophen-3-yl-)ethyl octanoate (OTE), its homopolymer (POTE), and copolymer with thiophene P(OTE-co-Th) were investigated via pyrolysis mass spectrometry. Thermal degradation of the copolymer started by lose of side chains and thiophene involving products evolved almost in the same temperature range where PTh degradation was detected, at slightly higher temperatures than PTh backbone decomposed during the pyrolysis of POTE. The extent of doping and n...
Solution processable donor acceptor type dibenzothiophen-S,S-dioxide derivatives for electrochromic applications ÇAMURLU, PINAR; Durak, Tarik; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2011-10-15) In this report, we highlight the synthesis and optical and electrochromic properties of dibenzothiophen-S,S-dioxide and 3-hexylthiophene based polymers. For this purpose a novel dibenzothiophen-S,S-dioxide and 3-hexylthiophene bearing, donor-acceptor-donor type monomer (THSO(2)) was synthesized through Stille cross-coupling reaction. THSO(2) was electrochemically polymerized in tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate- dichloromethane couple. Furthermore, THSO(2) was subjected to electrochemical copolymerizat...
Donor-Acceptor Polymer Electrochromes with Tunable Colors and Performance Icli, Merve; Pamuk, Melek; Algi, Fatih; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; CİHANER, ATİLLA (2010-07-13) To demonstrate the effect of donor (D) and acceptor (A) units on the structure property relationships of electrochromic polymers, design, synthesis, characterization and polymerization of a series of D A type systems, 1-5, based on thiophene, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, and 3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxepine as D units and 2,1,3-benzoselenadiazole, 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole and 2-decyl-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole as A units are highlighted. It is found that these units play key roles on the ...
Electrochemical and optical properties of novel terthienyl based azobenzene, coumarine and fluorescein containing polymers: Multicolored electrochromic polymers Yigit, Deniz; Udum, Yasemin Arslan; GÜLLÜ, Mustafa; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2014-01-01) Three electroactive terthienyl based monomers, namely 1-phenyl-2-[4-(2,2':5',2 ''-terthien-3'-ylmethoxy)phenyl]diazene (TTAz), 4-(2,2':5',2 ''-terthien-3'-ylmethoxy)-2H-chromen-2-one (TTCo) and methyl 2-[3-oxo-6-(2,2':5',2 ''-terthien-3'-ylmethoxy)-3H-xanthen-9-yl] benzoate (TTFlo), were synthesized with good yields and their conducting polymers were electrochemically prepared on ITO electrode surfaces. The effect of chromophore type on electrochemical and optical properties of the polymers was investigated...
Controlled release of vancomycin from biodegradable microcapsules Ozalp, Y; Ozdemir, N; Kocagoz, S; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2001-01-01) Poly D,L-lactic acid (PLA) and its copolymers with glycolide PLGA 90:10 and 70:30 were polymerized under various conditions to yield polymers in the molecular weight range 12 000-40 000 daltons, as determined by gel permeation chromatography. Vancomycin hydrochloride was the hydrophilic drug of choice for the treatment of methicillin resistant Staphyloccoccal infections. It was microencapsulated in the synthesized polymers using water-oil-water (w/o/w) double emulsion and solvent evaporation. The influence ...
