Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 492723217
The project (Greiner/Ruckdäschel) investigates percolating networks on different scales for electron and heat transport through phase-separated polymer blends. Electron and heat-transporting nanofillers will be used to create carrier-type specific 3D confinements within an insulating polymeric matrix. The structure and size of the percolating network will be controlled by adding tailor-made block copolymers in combination with elaborate processing techniques. Furthermore, the influence of thermal and mechanical loads on the respective transport properties will be evaluated, which can also be used to manipulate the thermal and electric conductivity.
