Development of scientific basis for the synthesis of linear and branched carbo- and heterochain polymers containing covalently bound or coordinated photo- and electroactive groups, and polymer materials/composites on the basis of these polymers that demonstrate non-linear optical, photoluminescence, electroluminescence, and transport properties.
Lines of research:
- Development of synthetic methods for polymeric materials with second- and third-order non-linear optical properties on the basis of linear and branched heterochain polymers with covalently attached chromophore fragments.
- Synthesis of macromolecular ligands and their complexes with transition and rare earth metals possessing (electro)catalytic activity, photo- and electroluminescent properties.
- Development of scientific basis for production of intensely luminescent conjugated polymers (particularly, copolyfluorenes) intended for manufacturing high performance LED optoelectronic devices and lighting units.
- Synthesis of macromolecules with complex architecture (including regular polyimide brushes with side chains of vinyl polymers), study of their molecular characteristics and functional properties.
