Martin, Simon - Loughborough University

个人简介

Simon read for a BSc in Physics at University of London (Queen Mary and Westfield College) and went on to complete a PhD at the University of Cambridge. His career has included post-doc positions at Cambridge University and the University of Sheffield, where he also had a temporary lectureship. Simon joined the Department of Materials in 2007 as lecturer and became a Senior Lecturer in 2013.

研究领域

Conjugated polymers are a fascinating class of one dimensional semiconductors. They are finding a wide range of applications including: Displays, Printed circuits (including field effect transistors) and photovoltaics I am particularly interested in studying the morphology of thin films of these materials and the interfaces that they form with other materials. I also am interested in the behaviour of polymer chains tethered at one end to a surface – polymer brushes. In particular I am investigating the behaviour of brushes made from stimuli responsive materials. The experimental techniques I use include neutron and Xray scattering, atomic force microscopy and ellipsometry
