  2. 1. Thermoelectric Devices with Electronic and Ionic Conducting Polymers

    Author : Zia Ullah; Xavier Crispin; Magnus Berggren; Marisol Martin-Gonzalez; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Thermoelectricity; conducting polymers; thermoelectric devices;

    Abstract : The energy consumption in the world is continuously growing and the sources of energy are largely dominated by fossil fuels. However, the resources of oil, gas and coal are diminishing in capacity. Moreover the CO2 emissions arising from their combustion is a great concern because it induces climate changes that threaten our habitat. READ MORE

  4. 2. Electronic paper in color by electrochromic materials and plasmonics

    Author : Oliver Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electrochromism; reflective displays; plasmonic electronic paper; conjugated polymers; structural color; plasmonic;

    Abstract : The most common display today is emissive. It produces its own light and emits it to the viewer's eye. A reflective display, also known as electronic paper, uses ambient light and reflects it to the viewer, just like a newspaper. READ MORE

  5. 3. Conjugated Polymers for Neural Interfaces : Prospects, possibilities and future challenges

    Author : Maria Asplund; Hans von Holst; Olle Inganäs; Thomas Stieglitz; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neuroprosthetics; conjugated polymers; conducting polymers; PEDOT; functional electrical stimulation; neural electrodes; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Functional materials; Funktionella material;

    Abstract : Within the field of neuroprosthetics the possibility to use implanted electrodes for communication with the nervous system is explored. Much effort is put into the material aspects of the electrode implant to increase charge injection capacity, suppress foreign body response and build micro sized electrode arrays allowing close contact with neurons.

    Abstract : Plastics are extremely diverse in terms of chemical composition, properties and possible applications, and are widely distributed in the society and the environment. In the last 15 years the global annual production has doubled, reaching 245 million tons in 2008. READ MORE

  7. 5. Conjugated materials for organic electronic devices : photoelectron spectroscopy studies

    Author : Wojciech Osikowicz; William R. Salaneck; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : conjugated polymers; oligomers; electronic structure; photoelectron spectroscopy; UPS; XPS;

    Abstract : Conjugated materials have attracted great attention since the discovery of high conductivity in donor and acceptor doped polyacetylene over two decades ago. The discoveries mentioned below caused, however, that the interest begun to shift towards their pristine semi-conducting state. READ MORE
