Description

The Center for Polymers and Organic Solids (CPOS), founded in 1982 as Institute for Polymers and Organic Solids (IPOS) by Alan Heeger and Fred Wudl, was converted to CPOS in 1998. CPOS is an interdisciplinary effort that merges efforts in physics, chemistry, polymer science and biology. It draws upon expertise from these fields to conduct fundamental research on a new class of materials: small molecules, conjugated organic polymers with delocalized electronic states showing electrical conductivity, anisotropic linear and nonlinear optical properties, and novel electrochemical properties.
