PBT (Poly(p-phenylenebenzobisthiazole)) PBO (Poly(p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole))-Based Hybrid Polymers with Nonlinear Optical Properties or High Electrical Conductivity.

Abstract

This project involves collaborative synthetic, polymer processing, and physicochemical work aimed at exploiting the unique properties of the high modulus/high strength polymers, poly(p-phenylenebenzobisthiazole) (PBT) and poly(p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole) (PBO), for electronic charge transport and nonlinear optical applications. In the former area, we exploring the properties of macromolecular/macromolecular and molecular/macromolecular hybrid materials constructed from PBT, PBO, and phthalocyanine metallomacrocycles. In the second thrust we are exploring the combination of judiciously selected processing strategies with electro-optic chromophore doping or direct incorporation in the polymer backbone.
