- Additional information
- The RAFT-generated polymers described are the first examples of polymers containing catechol-based ligands that form a stabilising cathodic interlayer in organic solar cells. The work led to numerous invited lectures, most notably at the AkzoNobel and Domino Printing Sciences Functional Films and Coatings meeting (RSC, Nov 2014), a Domino-funded PhD on water-based inkjet printing (patent submitted and DOI: 10.1039/D0PY00244E) and a BBSRC-funded partnership with GSK (DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2017.09.004) to make superior dental adhesives. The commercial nature of the work was a key reason one of the authors sought and successfully won a position as a Business Development Manager (University of Birmingham).
