Abstract:

Conjugated organic materials such as conductive polymers and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are quickly becoming indispensable for technologies such as photovoltaics, light emitting diodes and field effect transistors. Therefore, efficient assembly and deposition of these materials is an important goal. Advancing synthetic strategies provide a direct way to streamline synthesis, render new architectures synthetically accessible and control the material properties. This talk will discuss our recent efforts developing a dehydration polymerization strategy to access novel, heterocycle-containing, conjugated polymers as well as a synthetic "bottom-up" approach for the simultaneous sorting and alignment of SWNTs.

Derek J. Schipper is an assistant professor and Tier II Canada Research Chair in Organic Materials Synthesis at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Prince Edward Island which was followed by his doctoral studies at the University of Ottawa. Subsequently, he carried out his postdoctoral work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before beginning his independent career in late 2013. Since then, his research activities are focused on tackling synthetic challenges in the context of conjugated organic materials.
