Charge transport and mechanical property study of high mobility conjugated polymers
In this work, we systematically investigated the mechanical and electronic properties of a range of high performance conjugated polymers. We use state-of-the-art characterisation tools such as small-angle neutron scattering ... -
Thermoelectric and Charge Transport in Doped Semi-Crystalline Polymers
In recent years, organic semiconductors (OSCs) have generated many research interests from both academia and industry due to the exotic properties and potential applications in flexible displays, light-emitting diodes, ...
