Synthesis of new conducting polymers is desired since their electrochemical and optical properties enable them to be used as active layers in many device applications. Benzotriazole and nfunctionalized 2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1h-pyrrole (SNS Series) containing polymers showed very promising results as electrochromic materials. In order to observe the effect of the combination of these two units three new monomers 2-(6-(2,5-bis(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)hexyl)-4,7-di(thiophen-2- yl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole (M1), 2-(6-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)hexyl)-4,7- di(thiophen-2-yl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole (M2) and 2-(6-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1- yl)hexyl)-4,7-bis(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole (M3) were synthesized and electrochemically polymerized. The resultant polymers were characterized with cyclic voltammetry and UV-Vis-NIR Spectroscopy techniques. An electrochromic device was constructed with electrochemical polymer of M2.The device switched between red and blue colors and showed exceptional optical memory.

Donor-acceptor (D-A) approach is highly efficient to obtain p-type and n-type materials with desired intrinsic optical and electrochemical properties. Therefore, in this study a series of p-type and n- type DA type conjugated polymers was synthesized with combination of electron donating and electron-withdrawing heterocyclics to understand the effects of structural modifications on electrochemical, optoelectronic and photovoltaic properties. Synthesized polymers were utilized for electrochromic and organic ...

Ertan, Salih; Kaynak, Cevdet; Cihaner, Atilla; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2017)
In this thesis, a series of monomers covalently bonded to polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) pendant group was designed and synthesized. POSS group is a hybrid organic-inorganic nanostructure with 1 to 3 nm diameter. POSS which has a cage structure is mainly composed of silicon (Si) (at vertices) and oxygen (O) (in the middle of the edge). POSS nanostructure can be modified through the vertices with organic functional groups. POSS groups provide different properties, such as thermal robustness, mec...

Fused bithiophene containing conjugated polymers are recently used in different applications; for example organic light emitting diodes, solar cells, electrochromic devices and organic field effect transistors. Fused bithiophene derivatives increase the planarity, charge mobility and decrease band gap when incorporated into the polymer backbone. Connecting atom between the bithiopheneunit can be phosphorous, silicon, nitrogen and sulphur. In this thesis, dihienothiophene was coupled with benzotriazole via S...
