This Project Grant award of $494,018.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research supports research on molecular doping of semiconducting polymers at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). The research, which is jointly funded under the NSF's Solid State and Materials Chemistry Program and Polymers Program (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences), aims to investigate the structural and electronic changes in electronic polymers during doping using advanced characterization techniques like X-ray scattering. The project also examines the impact of mechanical forces such as bending or stretching on dopant incorporation in electronic polymers. The research outcomes are expected to enable the development of new materials for low-cost electronic devices relevant to electronics, energy conversion, and storage applications. The award will support the training of graduate students and expose undergraduate researchers to materials science career pathways.
