Opis

To date, synthetic and organic electronic device efforts have focused almost exclusively on closed-shell polymers despite the promise of open-shell macromolecules in myriad applications.This text represents the first comprehensive review of the design, synthesis, characterization, and device applications of open-shell polymers.

O autorze

Sanjoy Mukherjee is currently a postdoctoral research associate working with Prof. Bryan W. Boudouris in the Charles D. Davidson School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University. Sanjoy earned his undergraduate and graduate chemistry degrees at the University of Calcutta and the Indian Institute of Science respectively. Sanjoy has also worked at the Institüt für Anorganische Chemie, Universität Würzburg, Germany as a DAAD sponsored visiting fellow during his doctoral studies. His current research interests focuses on the structure-property relationships, optical properties, and charge transport mechanisms in radical polymers.​

Bryan W. Boudouris is the Robert and Sally Weist Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering and an Associate Professor of Chemistry (by courtesy) in the Charles D. Davidson School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University. Professor Boudouris earned undergraduate and graduate chemical engineering degrees at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Minnesota, respectively.  After the completion of his doctoral studies, he held a joint post-doctoral researcher position at the University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Professor Boudouris started his independent academic career at Purdue University in August 2011, and the work of his group focuses on the synthesis, nanostructural characterization, and implementation of functional macromolecules for advanced energy, water, and security applications.
