This book provides a detailed introduction to organic radical polymers and open-shell macromolecules. Functional macromolecules have led to marked increases in a wide range of technologies, and one of the fastest growing of these fields is that of organic electronic materials and devices. To date, synthetic and organic electronic device efforts have focused almost exclusively on closed-shell polymers despite the promise of open-shell macromolecules in myriad applications.

This text represents the first comprehensive review of the design, synthesis, characterization, and device applications of open-shell polymers. In particular, it will summarize the impressive synthetic and device performance efforts that have been achieved with respect to energy storage, energy conversion, magnetic, and spintronic applications. By combining comprehensive reviews with a wealth of informative figures, the text provides the reader with a complete “molecules-to-modules” understanding of the state of the art in open-shell macromolecules. Moreover, the monograph highlights future directions for open-shell polymers in order to allow the reader to be part of the community that continues to build the field. In this way, the reader will gain a rapid understanding of the field and will have a clear pathway to utilize these materials in next-generation applications.

Über Autor(innen)

Sanjoy Mukherjee is currently a postdoctoral research associate working with Prof. Bryan W. Boudouris in the Charles D. Davidson School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University. Sanjoy earned his undergraduate and graduate chemistry degrees at the University of Calcutta and the Indian Institute of Science respectively. Sanjoy has also worked at the Institüt für Anorganische Chemie, Universität Würzburg, Germany as a DAAD sponsored visiting fellow during his doctoral studies. His current research interests focuses on the structure-property relationships, optical properties, and charge transport mechanisms in radical polymers.

Bryan W. Boudouris is the Robert and Sally Weist Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering and an Associate Professor of Chemistry (by courtesy) in the Charles D. Davidson School of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University. Professor Boudouris earned undergraduate and graduate chemical engineering degrees at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Minnesota, respectively. After the completion of his doctoral studies, he held a joint post-doctoral researcher position at the University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Professor Boudouris started his independent academic career at Purdue University in August 2011, and the work of his group focuses on the synthesis, nanostructural characterization, and implementation of functional macromolecules for advanced energy, water, and security applications.
