Funded Activity Summary

Light-Driven Chemistry with Nanostructured Polyanilines. This project seeks to understand and exploit the rich photochemistry for an important class of electrically conducting polymers, namely polyanilines. Light stimulated electron transfer events will be employed in a wide range of exciting applications. The new fundamental knowledge gained will be used to design novel photochemical routes to functionalised polyanilines. The ability to produce solutions, films and especially nanoparticles of polyanilines as photo-catalysts should result in novel light-driven processes of industrial/environmental significance (eg. reduction of carbon dioxide), as well as new light-promoted electronic communication with important biological molecules.
