About The Group
The Sotzing Group is focused on the Synthesis, Characterization, and Preparation of Devices consisting of optical, optoelectronic and electronic polymers. Synthesis entails the preparation and characterization of small molecule organics that are used as monomers for polymerization. We are primarily interested in polymers with two extremes of electric field i.e highly conducting polymers and low conducting dielectric polymers. Another primary interest is in materials that change color upon charge injection/removal, electrochromic polymers. The Sotzing research group is also exploring the use of cannabinoids for various applications.
A research paper from the Sotzing research group is published as a cover highlight of Advanced Materials. In this paper synthesis of polymer dielectric with record-high energy density at elevated temperatures and electric fields using molecular engineering approach is highlighted. Link
