Adam Matzger's research looks at the ultimate application in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other devices. His research program utilizes organic synthesis to make polymers and organized assemblies. Targets are chosen for their potential to have novel properties, and methodology development is a critical component of all efforts. Three major research thrusts are conjugated polymers, physisorbed monolayers, and controlling crystal polymorphism. The ability of molecules to crystallize in more than one arrangement in the solid state has serious implications for a variety of applications including nonlinear optics, solid state reactivity, and pharmaceutical distribution.
