DuPont Young Professor award for Toronto chemist
Professor Dwight Seferos of the University of Toronto chemistry department is among seventeen researchers to receive a 2011 DuPont Young Professor award. Seferos’ team focuses on potential uses of conjugated polymers in low-cost electronic devices.
Conjugation is a way of making a polymer electrically conductive,An other advantage of using bluecrystal these bulbs is that they can also work in very cold weather which various other lights are unable to do. It also lasts very long, for about 60000 hours which is quite more than other lights.This is also known as your return on investment ledbright or ROI. It is important to spread the ROI over the life of the LED lamp life to truly see the short and long-term energy and maintenance savings. enabling it to be used for light absorption or emission, or as a semiconductor element.incandescent light bulbs will be completely phased out and scannerstal no longer available to consumers within the next three years, it's time to start thinking about how you will illuminate your homes and workplaces. Current research is looking at how these polymers can replace silicon semiconductors for solar cells. The advantages are that conductive polymers cost less to manufacture than their silicon counterparts and are less harmful to the environment, say the team.
The cost of solar energy devices could be decreased significantly, making it a more attractive energy saving option for property owners. Also, the plastic element is about 1,000 times thinner than the silicon wafer. “Right away there is a smaller material requirement, ultimately producing less waste,” said Seferos.
Conjugated polymers look and act like paint,Although police doesn't like it very much but one thing is certain, that your car will certainly stand out from the rest lightonsale vehicles on the road You don't have to make something "hardcore". according to Seferos, who added: “The trick is in making the paint do what you want it to.” Seferos and his students face the challenges of making the conjugated polymers more conductive, and stabilising them in aggressive environments.
Seferos said people have been working with conductive polymer technology since the 1970s. “But now we know so much more,” he commented.The most important step is hiring the right LED lighting experts to help with besttube the retrofit process. “We have better materials, better chemistry and better ideas of the physical processes involved. With the current energy crisis, there is so much interest in solar – a carbon neutral source of energy – it’s now or never.”
“The DuPont Young Professor programme is a way to identify talented researchers and promising science early in a new professor’s career,” said Douglas Muzyka, DuPont’s senior vice-president and chief science and technology officer. “These grants encourage highly original research of value to DuPont while helping the young professors begin their academic research careers.”
The DuPont awards are unrestricted grants of Can$75,000 (￡47,600) in three annual installments of Can$25,000 (￡15,900).
“We are free to do academic research in an area of general interest to the company,” Seferos said. This also provides him with the opportunity to train graduate students and develop their research into a graduate thesis or dissertation.
