Associate Professor Ken Lau has been awarded $325,795 from the National Science Foundation for a new three-year project titled "Synthesis and Processing of Electroactive Polymers in Nanostructured Energy Devices" (CBET-1264487). The project aims to deposit ultrathin conformal coatings of redox-active polymers within porous nanostructures. This will produce a proper system for understanding the behavior and properties of electroactive polymers within nanoconfined architectures. Ultimately, this is anticipated to enable supercapacitors with enhanced energy storage to be created.
