Master's programme Polymer Chemistry (discontinuing at 28/2/2027) 2025W
Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students will gain an in-depth understanding of pi-electron systems, which are the main backbone of conjugated organic semiconductors. Different organic semiconductor devices will be studied in detail such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaic (OPV) as well as organic field effect transistors (OFETs). Synthesis of such organic semiconductor molecules and polymers and the physics of such semiconductors and devices will be learned.
Skills
