Conductive organic thin films and membranes: their scientific foundations and industrial applications. (52)- surface dynamics in energy conversion devices

Summary form only given. Electroactive polymers are significant materials for both basic research and for ample advanced technologies. Solar and chemical energy conversion devices such as batteries and fuel cells, sensors, corrosion suppression processes, microelectronics and the like are of prime interest systems to be considered in connection with the application feasibilities of conducting polymers. In this research facilities, intensive work has been done with respect to preparation, characterization an various device tests of several polymeric materials in some of the above mentioned systems of major interest. By taking advantage of quantum chemical theories such as extended Ruckel, valence effective Hamiltonians and ab initio calculations, several electroactive macromolecules were designed and prepared via chemical, electrochemical, CVD, electrophoretic and plasma assisted methods. The products of successful experiments were characterized insitu and ex-situ for structural and surface, electrical, optical, magnetic, chemical, doping and intercalation properties including reactivity & stability of the polymers. By classifying the merits and demerits of major procedures and devices, the nature and fates of governing parameters, my new findings will be reported. The effects of high pressure on the transport properties, structure and functions of polymers will be taken into account.
