In this study, three novel oxadiazole-based polymers were synthesized and their electrochemical and optical properties were investigated. The polymers were found to have both p- and n-type doping properties accompanied by electrochromic response. Two polymer films exhibit cyan and magenta colors, which constitute two legs of CMY color spaces, in their neutral states and they are soluble in common-organic solvents. According to the color mixing theory, all colors in the visible spectrum including black color can be obtained by using these polymers with a yellow colored electrochromic polymer. Among these polymers, the polymer bearing propyledioxythiophene donor units has some superior properties like high stability (it retains 94% of its electroactivity after 2000 cycles), solubility, and high coloration efficiency (230 cm(2)/C), whereas as expected ethylenedioxythiophene containing one has the lowest band gap as 1.08 eV.

In this study, the electropolymerization of ethyl andmethyl substituted asymmetrical nitrogen analogs of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (OEt and OMe) were synthesized, characterized and their electrochemical properties were investigated. Both polymers (POEt and POMe) were synthesized electrochemically and characterized using spectroelectrochemical technique to determine optical changes of the resulting polymer films. Electrochemical studies demonstrated that these polymers exhibited a significantly low oxidatio...
Computational modelling of electro-active polymers
Dal, Sinan Fırat; Göktepe, Serdar; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
This study is concerned with the stability of Electro-Active Polymers (EAPs) having geometries with periodic microstructures subjected to coupled electromechanical effects. For this purpose, coupled electromechanical equations, which are nonlinear, are discretized using the Finite Element Method (FEM) under the prescribed boundary conditions. EAPs are smart materials that may undergo large mechanical deformations when subjected to an electric field. Unlike many other materials that show permanent deformatio...
Transmission, reflection and thermoluminescence studies on GaS0.75Se0.25 layered single crystals
Delice, S.; IŞIK, MEHMET; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2015-10-01)
Optical and thermoluminescence properties on GaS0.75Se0.25 crystals were investigated in the present work. Transmission and reflection measurements were performed at room temperature in the wavelength range of 400-1000 nm. Analysis revealed the presence of indirect and direct transitions with band gap energies of 2.39 and 2.53 eV, respectively. TL spectra obtained at low temperatures (10-300 K) exhibited one peak having maximum temperature of 168 K. Observed peak was analyzed using curve fitting, initial ri...

Three novel 2,5-dithienylpyrrole (SNS) derivatives containing strong chromophore units such as azobenzene, coumarin and fluorescein were synthesized to investigate the effects of chromophore substituents on the electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties of resulting polymers. Electrochemical and optoelectronic characteristics of the homopolymers, poly(1-(2-(4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenoxy)ethyl)-2,5di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrole) (PTPTAz), poly(4-(2-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)ethoxy)-2H-chrome...
Inverted organic solar cell applications of benzodithiophene and benzotriazole bearing alternating copolymers
Bolayır, Eda; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2018)
In this thesis, electrochemical, optical and photovoltaic studies of two novel benzodithiophene and 1,2,3-benzotriazole bearing alternating copolymers were investigated. Benzodithiophene which has a strong electron donating ability and planar structure was used as the donor moiety. On the other hand, benzotriazole was used as an acceptor moiety due to its electron deficient nature. In order to determine the effect of л-bridges, thiophene (P1) and selenophene (P2) moieties were incorporated between the donor...
