Innovative Conjugated Polymers for Sensors and Catalysts: Swager Lab Studies

Swager Lab explores novel applications of conjugated polymers as conductors, sensors, amplifiers, actuators, and catalysts. They focus on new sensory methods, self-organizing systems, and molecular architectures to enhance performance and functionality. Challenges such as stability, shape persistence, and functional group flexibility are addressed through innovative designs. The synthesis of conductive polymers within an iptycene scaffold shows promise for improved insulation and performance.
