A new derivative (EDOS-POSS) of 3,4-ethylenedioxyselenophene integrated with alkyl-substituted polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) cage was synthesized and characterized. The electroactive monomer was successfully polymerized via both chemical and electrochemical methods. The obtained polymer called PEDOS-POSS was solution-processable and soluble in common organic solvents like tetrahydrofuran, toluene, dichloromethane, and chloroform. PEDOS-POSS polymer exhibited electrochromic behavior: pure blue when neutralized and highly transparent when oxidized. When compared to the parent PEDOS (1.40 eV with lambda(max) = 673 nm), PEDOS-POSS polymer film has a somewhat higher band gap (1.50 eV with lambda(max) = 668 and 724 nm). Also, PEDOS POSS exhibited high optical contrast ratio (59%) and coloration efficiency (593 cm(2)/C for 95% switching) with a low switching time (0.7 s) due to the presence of POSS cage in the polymer backbone. In addition, PEDOS-POSS polymer film was highly robust and stable under ambient conditions (without purging the electrolyte solution with inert gas). Polymer films demonstrated high electrochemical stability; for example, it retained 76% of its electroactivity after 5000 cycles. Furthermore, the polymers exhibited fluorescent properties and exhibited a reddish orange emission centered about at 640 nm. Based on the findings, to the best of our knowledge, it can be concluded that the polymers are the first examples of soluble and fluorescent PEDOS derivatives. These promising properties make PEDOS-POSS polymer a potential material for bioapplications like imaging the cancer cells as well as optoelectronic applications.

Preparation of a conducting flexible material from silane coupling agent and hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene rubber by hydrolysis and condensation Karatas, Y; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Tincer, T (Informa UK Limited, 2003-01-01) Synthesis and characterization of a flexible polymer produced from silane coupling agent (SCA) and hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) were performed. Mechanical properties of chemically and electrochemically prepared conducting composites synthesized from this polymer were investigated. Conductivities of the composites were also measured. Polypyrrole enhanced the mechanical properties of the chemically prepared conducting composite. Doping with iodine greatly changed the conductivity of the composite....
Spray-processable thiazolothiazole-based copolymers with altered donor groups and their electrochromic properties Akpinar, Hava Zekiye; UDUM, YASEMİN; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 2013-09-15) Two novel thiazolo[5,4-d] thiazole containing donor-acceptor type alternating copolymers, poly[2-(5-(2-decyl-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3] triazol-4-yl) thiophen-2-yl)-5-(thiophen-2-yl) thiazolo [5,4-d] thiazole] (BTzTh) and poly[2-(5-(2-decyl-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]-triazol-4-yl) furan-2-yl)-5-(furan-2-yl) thiazolo[5,4-d] thiazole] (BTzFr) were synthesized by Stille coupling polymerization and their electrochemical and electrochromic properties were explored. Electrochemical activities of the spray-casted polymer films we...
Positional effect of phenylene moiety on a certain perylene chromophore: A semiempirical treatment Tuerker, Lemi; Atalar, Taner (Informa UK Limited, 2007-01-01) A benzimidazole derivative of perylenetetracarboxylic-3,4,9,10 anhydride has been considered as the base system. Then, by means of annellation ( phenylene fusion) a series of nonexistent structures have been constructed. The positional effect of annellation on these systems has been analyzed theoretically by performing PM3/RHF type quantum chemical calculations. The geometries and stabilities are discussed. The theoretical electronic spectra have been produced by using ZINDO/S ( CI) type calculations and di...
Understanding the influence of hydrogen bonding and diisocyanate symmetry on the morphology and properties of segmented polyurethanes and polyureas: Computational and experimental study Sami, Selim; Yıldırım, Erol; Yurtsever, Mine; Yurtsever, Ersin; Yilgor, Emel; Yilgor, Iskender; Wilkes, Garth L. (Elsevier BV, 2014-09-02) Quantum mechanical calculations (QMC) and dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) siniulations were utilized to understand the nature of the short and long-range hydrogen bonding and its influence on the microphase morphology in segmented polyurethanes and segmented polyureas prepared without chain extenders through the stoichiometric reactions of hydroxy or amine terminated poly(tetramethylene oxide) (PTMO-1000) with 1,4-phenylene diisocyanate (PPDI) and 1,3-phenylene diisocyanate (MPDI). The possibility of lo...
Enzyme immobilization in a photosensitive conducting polymer bearing azobenzene in the main chain AK, METİN; Yildiz, Huseyin Bekir; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-07-01) A new photosensitive and thermosensitive monomer, namely bis(4-(3-thienyl ethylene)-oxycarbonyl)diazobenzene (TDAZO), was synthesized. The photochemical and thermal cis-trans isomerization of the monomer has been investigated. The rate constants of the photoisomerization of TDAZO in ACN and DCM were 0.195 and 0.308 min(-1), respectively. For spectroelectrochemical investigation and enzyme immobilization application, TDAZO copolymerized with thiophene and pyrrole. Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical p...
