Figure 4: An artist's rendition of flexible polymer solar cells ... Absorption. The large optical bandgap of polymers results in a mismatch between their absorption spectra and the solar ...

The obtained polymers exhibited good solubility in common organic solvents and could be easily cast into optical-quality thin films. The resulting polymers could be thermally crosslinked either at ...

“Unlike standard optical fibers, which are cylindrical ... “Furthermore, making the fibers from soft, flexible polymers rather than stiff, sometimes brittle glass can reduce tissue ...

A new study explores how PIM-1, a polymer of intrinsic microporosity, enhances luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) by ...

The new collection includes state-of-the-art materials including nanofibers, polymer optical fibers, and 3D printable filaments. This strategic expansion will allow to a large extent the versatility ...
