Study of effect of side chains of organic semiconductors for bioelectronic applications
Ivanová, Lucia ; Cigánek, Martin (referee) ; Krajčovič, Jozef (advisor)
Organic bioelectronics is a relatively young but perspective science discipline that introduces the applicability of organic electronic materials in bioelectronic devices. The promising outlook for using these applications ranges from improving the quality of the disabled people's life to the development of artificial intelligence. The theoretical part describes the essential properties of semiconducting polymers for the utilization in bioelectronics and, moreover, it presents a way of improving these properties by the proper implementation of the side chains. It deals with the possibility of optimizing the biomimetic properties of conjugated polymers by using bio-inspired molecules as peripheral chains, specifically nucleic bases. The nucleobase groups introduced onto the polymer chain thus provide the synthetic molecules with the ability of self-assembly and recognition of each other. The second part of the thesis focuses on the modification of the adenine molecule, with the preparation of the key intermediate for Stille coupling. Subsequent cross-coupling reaction results in the extension of the adenine’s -conjugated system with the thiophene molecule.

The influence of photochromic reaction on optoelectrical properties of organic semiconductors
Heinrichová, Patricie ; Weiter, Martin (referee) ; Vala, Martin (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on study of electric and optoelectric properties of conjugated polymers. The theoretical part describes the relationship between molecular structure of conjugated materials and their chosen macroscopic physical properties like absorption of visible and ultraviolet radiation, electrical conductivity and photoconductivity. This part also describes photochromism and its utilization for construction of light driven current switch. The experimental part studies this switch based on change of photochromic species dipole moment dispersed in conjugated conducting polymer. The active switching unit is represented by photochromic spiropyran 1’,3’-dihydro-1’,3’,3’-trimethyl-6-nitrospiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2’-(2H)-indol] which is dispersed in conjugated conducting polymer poly[2-methoxy-5-(3',7'-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-phenylene-vinylen]. The influence of the photochromic conversion on the polymer matrix was studied by absorption spectroscopy, current-voltage measurements and spectrally resolved steady state photoconductivity and transient photoconductivity.

Photogeneration of Charge Carriers in Organic Semiconductors
Heinrichová, Patricie ; Kratochvílová, Irena (referee) ; Cimrová,, Věra (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
The interest in the detail knowledge about elementary electronic processes during photogeneration of charge carriers, which allow achieving higher efficiency of organic solar cells, grows with advent of the commercial organic solar cells production. The thesis is focused on study of photogeneration of charge carriers in organic semiconductors, especially in -conjugated polymer materials. First part of the thesis summarized state of the art in studies of photogeneration of charge carriers in polymer solar cells. Subsequent experimental and results part are focused on study of polymeric solar cells prepared from electron donor polymers MDMO-PPV, Tg-PPV, PCDTBT and PCBTDPP and electron acceptor derivates of fullerenes PC60BM and PC70BM. Results of the thesis are divided in tree main parts: 1) study of charge transfer between electron donor and electron acceptor materials by optical methods, 2) study of charge transfer between electron donor and electron acceptor materials by optoelectrical methods and 3) development of organic solar cells on flexible substrates. The last part is focused largely on deposition methods of active materials thin layer.
