New Directions in Conductive Polymers
Abstract
Scientific accomplishments during the period of this contract were reported in the form of published papers. More generally, we contributed in an important way to the development of the field with important contributions in all aspects of current activity. To single out a few of these we note the following: Demonstration of the generic importance of nonlinear excitations in conducting polymers (Solitons, Polarons and Bipolarons); Demonstration of the importance of nonlinear excitations in conjugated polymers to the nonlinear optical properties of these polymers; Demonstration of the control of the band gap through molecular design; Demonstration that the concept developed for solid state materials can be generalized to conducting polymers in solution. A complete list of the Publications, Patents, Presentations, Honors, etc is included in the End-of-The-Year Reports which were submitted and are on file at ONR.
