electropolymerization methods to synthesize ultrathin films with conjugated
polymers and oligomers.
-
Synthesis and photo-induced alignment of dyes
in ultra thin films using photoisomerizable moieties: understanding the
alignment process and application for display devices.
-
Fabrication of materials and thin films
specifically for Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) and Field Effect Transistors (FET) devices using ultra thin film techniques.
-
Development of patterning and non-conventional
deposition techniques using reactive cross-linking processes.
