Professor Guihua Yu of the Texas Materials Institute at the University of Texas Austin will speak on, "Nanostructured Electroactive Polymers as a New Material Platform for Advanced Energy and Electronics."

 

Abstract: Nanostructured materials have become critically important in many areas of technology, ranging from renewable energy, electronics, and photonics to biology and medicine, because of their unusual physical/chemical properties due to confined dimensions of such materials. This talk will present a new class of polymeric materials we developed recently: nanostructured conducting polymer gels (nCPGs) that offer an array of advantageous features such as intrinsic 3D nanostructured conducting framework, exceptional electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity to store and transport ions, synthetically tunable structures and chemical interfaces. These functional organic building blocks have been demonstrated powerful for a number of technological applications in energy, environment and healthcare. Several examples on nCPGs-enabled advanced energy and smart electronic devices including high-energy lithium batteries, self-healing, adaptive electronics and bioelectronic sensors, will be discussed to illustrate ‘structure-derived multi-functionality’ of this special class of materials.
