The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Georgia TECH Research Corporation, also known as the Office of Sponsored Programs, for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2027. The grant aims to develop a framework to expand polymer physics concepts and enable the predictable and controlled self-assembly of multi-component plastic semiconducting inks that can lead to targeted device properties. This will involve advances in modeling self-assembly, polymer physics/thermal phase behavior, relaxation analysis, and molecular packing/assembly through a combination of academic research, contributions from national laboratory partners, and targeted synthesis by collaborating researchers. Machine learning and artificial intelligence analytics and methodologies will also be leveraged to enhance experimental efficiency and knowledge inferences. The project is expected to have broad implications in macromolecular science and technology while also providing an interdisciplinary workforce trained in experimental methodologies, theory, simulations, and machine learning techniques.
