The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry awarded a $241,974 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Georgia Southern University Research & Service Foundation Inc. The grant, titled "LEAPS-MPS: Investigation of Electrochromic Polymer Induced Plasmon Switching on Gold Nanocrystals and Its Application for Smart Windows," funds research to integrate electrochromic polymer with plasmonic nanoparticles. The goal is to develop smart window devices with improved color-switching characteristics that can enhance the energy efficiency of buildings and vehicles. The project, led by Professor Gang Chen, aims to advance understanding of electrochromic polymer-induced plasmonic switching and its applications in areas like information displays, anti-counterfeiting, and photothermal cancer therapy. The award period runs from August 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025.
