- With the economy booming, the City of Guangzhou sprawled its urban domain quickly. The city was vulnerably struggling on the brink of discretionary control as it lacked the overarching policies for sustainable development. In 2003 the government of Guangzhou initiated a Tourism Planning and Urban Design Consultation to control the development of Seagull Island, which was an agricultural island located in the Pearl River with a population of 20,000 and which is now part of the New-City of Guangzhou. This paper presents the strategic urban design and the design process from a sustainable tourism perspective. To carry out the scheme, a variety of approaches and tools were explored to optimise the design process, which tried to meet social, economic and environmental objectives. The integrated toolbox includes both quantitative and qualitative tools for different design stages, among which working process, SWOT analysis and environmental carrying capacity analysis were thoroughly discussed.

- Electronically conductive and electrochemically active 3D-scaffolds based on electrospun poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nano-fibers are reported. Vapour phase polymerization was employed to achieve an uniform and conformal coating of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with tosylate (PEDOT:tosylate) on the nano-fibers. The PEDOT coatings had a large impact on the wettability, turning the hydrophobic PET fibers super-hydrophilic. SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were grown on the PEDOT coated fibers. The SH-SY5Y cells adhered well and showed healthy morphology. These electrically active scaffolds were used to induce Ca2+ signalling in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. PEDOT:tosylate coated nano-fibers represent a class of 3D host environments that combines excellent adhesion and proliferation for neuronal cells with the possibility to regulate their signalling.

Stoichiometry dependence of charge transport in polymer/methanofullerene and polymer/C70 derivative based solar cells
- 2006

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Charge transport in a near infrared absorbing polyfluorene copolymer (APFO-Green1) and its blends with methanofullerene [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), and 3′-(3,5-bis-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1′-(4-nitrophenyl)pyrazolino[70]fullerene (BTPF70) is reported. PCBM and BTPF70 are electron acceptor and transporting molecules in polymer based solar cells. The BTPF70 has emerged as a new electron acceptor molecule that provides adequate exciton dissociation when blended with the low band gap polyfluorene copolymer APFO-Green1. Electron transport in both net PCBM and BTPF70 films are subjected to positional and energetic disorder, with the degree of disorder being more pronounced in BTPF70. On the other hand, mixing PCBM with conjugated polymers usually leads to increased hole mobility. We have investigated and compared the acceptor concentration dependence of charge transport in APFO-Green1/PCBM and APFO-Green1/BTPF70 blend films. For better understanding of the charge transport in the heterojunction films, the field and temperature dependence of hole transport in pure APFO-Green1 films has also been studied. It is observed that the behavior of hole mobility in the blend layer is sensitive to the acceptor type. For APFO-Green1/PCBM hole only devices, the hole mobility attains a local maximum at 67 wt.% of PCBM, while on the contrary mixing any amount of BTPF70 with APFO-Green1 results into degradation of hole transport. Electron transport in both blends, however, increases monotonically as a function of acceptor loading.

Alternating fluorene copolymer-fullerene blend solar cells
- 2005

Ingår i: Optical Science and Engineering. ; 99, s. 387-402

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present a new class of alternating fluorene copolymers, which can be combined with a fullerene acceptor, to make polymer blends suitable for photovoltaic energy conversion. By choice of comonomers in the polymer, it is possible to engineer the optical absorption spectrum and to cover the wavelength range down to 900 nm. The transport properties of the polymers investigated so far are competitive with other polymers used in polymer solar cells and the mixing of polymers with acceptors in the form of fullerenes is extensive. These polymers are therefore of interest in the future developments of high-performance polymer solar cells. [on SciFinder (R)]

Low bandgap alternating polyfluorene copolymers in plastic photodiodes and solar cells

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We report a comparative study of plastic photodiodes using four different copolymers of fluorene, with a variation of alkyl side chain length and chemical structure. Photodiode materials are formed by blending the polymers with a fullerene derivative and spincoating the blend solution. A photovoltage of 1 V is obtained in devices, where the anode is a doped polymer and the cathode is LiF/Al. Monochromatic quantum efficiencies are better than 40% over most of the absorption range, and under solar light AM 1.5 simulation, we reach energy efficiencies beyond 2%. The high fill factors obtained in some of the devices indicate that these are of interest for more elaborate optimisation. Reasons for the benign electrical transport are discussed. © Springer-Verlag 2004.

Blue light-emitting diodes based on novel polyfluorene copolymers
- 2007

Ingår i: Journal of Luminescence. ; 122-123, s. 610-613
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study presents the synthesis and characterization of a series of fluorene-based conjugated copolymers, together with the prepn. and characterization of the corresponding light-emitting devices. The polymers consist of alkoxyphenyl-substituted fluorene units together with different amts. of a hole-transporting triphenylamine-substituted fluorene unit: 0%, 10%, 25% and 50%. All polymers (P0, P1, P2, and P3) show high photoluminescence efficiency (hPL) and light emission (both PL and EL) in the blue spectral region. Electrochem. studies show improved hole injection as the ratio of the triphenylamine-substituted segment is increased. The electroluminescence quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of the devices increase six times going from P0 to P1. Compared with P1, polymers P2 and P3 show lower efficiencies in devices. These findings indicate the presence of an optimal polymer compn., where balance between the charge-carrier mobilities has been reached. [on SciFinder (R)]
