Abstract:
In this presentation advances in the synthesis of conjugated organic and polymeric materials for application as the active layer in organic light emitting devices as well as organic and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) will be reported. A variety of materials ranging from solution processable hexabenzocoronenes to donor-acceptor organic dyes for DSC with alternative electrolyte materials have been studied. As part of the Victorian Organic Solar Cells Consortium (VICOSC) a progress report will be given on scale-up of materials synthesis and printing processes.

Inspiring Australia: National Science Week (SA) Program Launch
When: Thursday 17 May 2012, 6.00pm to 7.30pm
Where: Hosted by The RiAus at The Science Exchange, Exchange Place, Adelaide
The Hon Tom Kenyon MP, Minister for Science and Information Economy, will launch the 2012 National Science Week (SA) Program of events to be held in August. Annually, National Science Week reaches over a million people through science events and activities held across Australia.
At this event, there will be information about the 2012 program, how to access state grants if you are planning an event in National Science Week, and how to nominate for the Unsung Hero of SA Science Awards.
A Federal Government representative from Canberra will join us to provide an update on the progress of the Inspiring Australia initiative and how it is affecting science engagement across the country.
Please join us, learn more about ways that you and your organisation can be involved in celebrating science, share your thoughts and ideas and meet others who are passionate about promoting science.
Refreshments will be available.
