Integrated Instrumentation for Light-Emitting Polymers Development
Abstract
The major objective of this project is to develop an integrated instrumentation that combines the capability of performing spin coating of uniform polymer thin films under an oxygen and moisture free environment metal evaporation and organic molecular deposition with controllable thickness. In addition it provides timely assessment of electroluminescent material properties through the measurements of thermal properties (Tg and decomposition temperature), conductivity, redox potentials. as well the photo- and electro-luminescence emission spectra. By integrating these testing functions together it provides a very efficient mechanism to evaluate potential polymer systems for the fabrication of light emitting devices. This integrated instrumentation is available for scientists in the research community (both from academic and DoD laboratories) to perform a reliable screening and testing procedure and to speed up the development of LED polymer material systems. This, in turn, will provide the technological basis for the design and fabrication of reliable polymer LEDs.
