The word polymer is derived from the Greek words “poly” which means “many” and “mer” which means “parts”. Polymers are long chains of molecules composed of repeating units of smaller molecules, known as monomers. They either occur naturally, such as DNA and proteins, or can be constructed synthetically, like plastics. They have varied structural characteristics, such as linear chains, branched chains, or complex networks, that contribute to the...

The Periodic Table

As early chemists discovered more elements, they realized that various elements could be grouped by their similar chemical behaviors. One such grouping includes lithium (Li), sodium (Na), and potassium (K). All of these elements are shiny, conduct heat and electricity well, and have similar chemical properties. A second grouping includes calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), and barium (Ba), which also are shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, and have chemical properties in common. However,...

    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Optoelectronics
    • Nanotechnology

    Background:

    • Polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) are crucial for flexible displays and lighting.
    • Enhancing the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of PLEDs remains a key challenge.
    • Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) offer a route to improve light extraction in optoelectronic devices.
