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 redox behavior, band gap, neutral state color, and the electrochromic performance (stability, optical contrast, coloration efficiency, and switching time) of the system. It is noted that electropolymerization of these D-A systems provides processable low band gap electrochromes, P1-P5, exhibiting high redox stability, coloration efficiency, transmittance and/or contrast ratio and low response time. Furthermore, P1-P5 reflect various hues of blue and green pallets of the RGB color-space in the neutral state. In particular, it is noteworthy that P5 is an excellent blue-to-colorless polymeric electrochrome, which, to our best knowledge, exhibits the highest optical contrast and coloration efficiency among the D A type systems. The panoramic breadth of the neutral state colors and intriguing features of these polymeric materials further confirm that D A approach allows engineering tunable electrochromes, which hold promise for commercialization of polymeric ROB electrochromics.

Solution Processable Benzotriazole, Benzimidazole and Biphenyl Containing Conjugated Copolymers for Optoelectronic Applications Kaya Deniz, Tuğba; Çırpan, Ali; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2012) 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...
Void intergranual motion under the action of electromigration forces in thin film interconnects with bamboo structure Oren, EE; Ogurtani, TO (2001-11-30) The rigorous formulation of the internal entropy production, and the generalized forces and conjugate fluxes associated with the virtual displacement of a triple junction are presented in multi-component systems. Extensive computer simulations are performed on the void configurational evolution during the intergranual motion; under the actions of capillary and electromigration forces in thin film metallic interconnects with bamboo structure having various grain textures, The texture studies in this work sho...
Synthesis, structural characterization and chemistry of tribenzoheterotriquinane based molecular structures. Kepil, Dilay; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Department of Chemistry (2020) The synthesis of heteroatom containing derivatives of triquinane structure by the Mascal group represents an important development in the field of fundamental organic chemistry. Some derivatives of hererotriquinane structures showed unusual reactivity and structure properties. For example, oxonium ions are known as fleeting intermediates in certain reaction mechanisms. However, oxatriquinane, the oxygen containing analogue of heterotriquinane family, shows extreme stability. It can be chromatographed and su...
Mutual coupling of printed elements on a cylindrically layered structure using closed-form Green's functions Acar, R. C.; Dural, G. (EMW Publishing, 2008-01-01) A hybrid method to calculate mutual coupling of electric or magnetic current elements on a cylindrically layered structure using closed-form Green's functions is presented. When rho = rho' and phi is not very close to phi', closed-form Green's functions are employed in the calculation of MoM matrix entries. When both rho = rho' and phi = phi', series representation of the spectral domain Green's functions do not converge, therefore closed-form Green's functions can not be employed. In that case MoM matrix e...
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...
