Could green be greener? Novel donor-acceptor-type electrochromic polymers: Towards excellent neutral green materials with exceptional transmissive oxidized states for completion of RGB color space

2008-02-18
Novel donor-acceptor-type polymers, PTBPEQ and PDPEQ, are synthesized and shown to be neutral-state green polymeric materials with excellent transmissive oxidized states. Exceptional long-term stability even after 5000 cycles, ease of electrochemical synthesis, and extremely fast switching times make these polymers paramount choices for the green component of polymer electrochromic display applications.

Fabrication of a promising immobilization platform based on electrochemical synthesis of a conjugated polymer
Buber, Ece; SÖYLEMEZ, SANİYE; UDUM, YASEMİN; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2018-07-01)
Since conjugated polymers are an important class of materials with remarkable properties in biosensor applications, in this study, a novel glucose biosensor based on a conjugated polymer was fabricated via the electropolymerization of the monomer 10,13-bis(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)dipyridol[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine onto a graphite electrode surface. Glucose oxidase (GOx) was used as the model biological recognition element. As a result of the enzymatic reaction between GOx and glucose, the glucose amount was det...

Activated carbons (ACs) are successfully synthesized from Elaeagnus grain by a simple chemical synthesis methodology and demonstrated as novel, suitable supercapacitor electrode materials for graphene hydrogel (GH)/AC nanocomposites. GH/AC nanocomposites are synthesized via hydrothermal process at temperature of 180 degrees C. The low-temperature thermal exfoliation approach is convenient for mass production of graphene hydrogel (GH) at low cost and it can be used as electrode material for energy storage ap...
Thermal characterization of composites of polyamide-6 and polypropylene involving boron compounds via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry
İşbaşar Afacan, Güllü Ceyda; Hacaloğlu, Jale; Yılmazer, Ülkü; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2013)
In this work, the effects of addition of boron compounds, boron phosphate (BPO4), zinc borate (ZnB), borosilicate (BSi) and lanthanum borate (LaB), on thermal degradation characteristics of composites of polyamide 6 (PA6) and polypropylene (PP) are analyzed via Direct Pyrolysis Mass Spectrometry (DP-MS) technique. The composites of PA6 involve nitrogen containing flame retardants, melamine (Me) or melamine cyanurate (MC); or phosphorus containing flame retardant, aluminum diethylphosphinate (AlPi), with or ...

Bayseç, Şebnem; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Yılmaz, Levent; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2013)
The synthesis , spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of a series of donor-acceptor (DA) type polymers by changing the donor unit (thiophene, dithienopyrrole) polymer backbone were investigated.The synthesized CoP1 and CoP2 were designed to investigate the effect of copolymerization and insertion of perylene tetracarboxylic dimide (PDI) on the structure of benzotriazole (BTz) based polymers. For CoP1 1,7-dibromo-perylene diimide,4,7-dibromo-2-dodecyl-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole and 2,5 bis(tributylsta...
Electrochromic and photovoltaic applications of conjugated polymers
Apaydın, Doğukan Hazar; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2012)
Three new azobenzene containing conjugated monomers were designed and synthesized. Resulting monomers were characterized by means of 1H NMR and 13C NMR techniques. Monomers (E)-1,2-bis(4-(thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)diazene (M1), (E)-1,2-bis(4-(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl) phenyl) diazene (M2) and (E)-1,2-bis(2-fluoro-4-(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)phenyl) diazene (M3) were electrochemically polymerized using cyclic voltammetry to give polymers P1, P2 and P3. The polymers were subjected to spectroelectrochemical and kinetic stu...
