Functionalization of boron-doped diamond surfaces for (bio)molecular electronics Hasselt University
Development of tough, transparent materials from poly(lactic acid) KU Leuven
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a bio-based polymer which is on economic point of view a promising alternative for petroleum-based plastics such as polypropylene and polystyrene. However, at this time, the properties of PLA limits a variety of applications. One of the main shortcomings is the high brittleness at room temperature, which is partially coupled with the high glass transition temperature (Tg) of PLA (± 60 ° C). This brittleness can be ...
Exploration of polar conjugated polymers for next generation organic photovoltaics Hasselt University
Spectral impedance measurements to elucidate the working mechanism of cathode interlayer materials for organic photovoltaics Hasselt University
Precision synthesis and chiral expression of helical conjugated polymers KU Leuven
The domain of conjugated polymers has already been thoroughly researched. However, up until now the research has mostly been focused on linear polymer structures. This project aims to expand the domain of the conjugated polymers to include different macromolecular structures such as cyclic polymers and helical polymers. These types of materials will show different properties in terms of aggregation compared to the currently existing ...
