Main objectives:
- To understand the role of the molecular interactions in polymer-polymer de-mixing during thin film formation, by monitoring it in-situ, imaging it at scales from nano- to micrometers, and modelling its dynamics.
- To understand how molecular interactions can be manipulated by external stimuli with the goal to manipulate morphology.
- To rationalize and optimize morphologies for optical and electronic properties of the films.
- To develop solution formulations for sustainable coating processes using more environmental friendly solvents.
- To develop tools to guide phase separation independent of deposition technique by controlling the drying kinetics.
- To formulate guidelines for polymer design with the goal to form predictable morphologies.
Instruments:
- A platform for Swedish OPV research cooperation and national meetings
- Six PhD students at four Swedish universities with shared supervision
- Investment in research equipment: Flash DSC and AFM-IR
Activities:
- Yearly autumn meeting at Karlstad University with all members of the projects.
- Additional yearly PI meeting in the spring.
- Short visits of PhD students to partner institutions.
