Kaner group is interested in all aspects of conducting polymers, ranging from the fundamental science of these materials to their development for a wide variety of applications. The information provided here is a small glimpse into our research. Synthesis, Properties, and Processing of Nanostructured Conducting Polymers: Nanostructured conducting polymers possess many advantageous properties over conventional, bulk counterparts. Since the properties of nanomaterials are highly dependent on their size, shape, and alignment over a macroscopic area, controlling these factors for nanoscale conducting polymers is of great importance. The Kaner group is interested in controlling these parameters without the aid of traditional external templates such as surfactants or nanoporous membranes. This process exploits the fact that conducting polymers have a predisposition to form certain nanoscale shapes under specific synthetic conditions. Ultimately, the goal is to develop a methodology that can produce conducting polymers of virtually any nanoscale size or shape. From this, we can begin to investigate morphology-property relationships and to integrate these new materials into devices.
