This Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) Phase I program will encompass the revolutionary ionically self-assembled monolayer (ISAM) methods of creating multifunctional thin-films monolayer by monolayer to yield self-assembled, electronically and photonically-active polymeric thin films. F&S/Luna Innovations and research partners have demonstrated that the ISAM technique can be used to fabricate both polymer light emitting diodes and inherently noncentrosymmetric electro-optic polymer films. Because the self-assembly technique relies inherently on polyelectrolytes, electrochromic devices become another important area of opportunity for the combination of ISAM with conducting polymers. Such devices change their color and/or opacity when a voltage is applied. The ISAM process allows molecular level control over the assembly of the layered structures of an electrochromic device with exceptional homogeneity and ease of processing. ISAM electrochromic thin film devices offer the potential for enhanced electrochromic contrast and increased switching speed as well as major advantages of excellent homogeneity, high thermal and chemical stability, simplicity and low-cost. Importantly, the films can be conformally fabricated over large areas on flexible substrates. F&S/Luna Innovations will work with optoelectronic and polymer synthesis university researchers to rapidly transition recent laboratory results to prototype device products.ISAM electrochromic devices have immediate application in military and commercial areas for inexpensive, large area, flexible optical displays, smart windows, and automotive rear view mirrors and sunroofs.

这项小型企业技术转移研究（STTR）I阶段计划将涵盖革命性的离子自我组装单层（ISAM）方法，即单层创建多功能薄膜单层单层，以产生自我组装，电子和光子活性的聚合物薄膜。 F＆S/LUNA创新和研究伙伴已经证明，ISAM技术可用于制造聚合物光发射二极管和固有的非中心电学聚合物膜。 由于自组装技术固有地依赖于聚电解质，因此电致变色设备成为ISAM与导电聚合物结合的另一个重要机会领域。 当应用电压时，此类设备会更改其颜色和/或不透明度。 ISAM过程允许对具有卓越同质性和易于处理的电染色器设备的分层结构组装分子水平的控制。 ISAM电致薄膜设备提供了增强的电致色对比度和提高开关速度的潜力，以及出色的同质性，高热量和化学稳定性，简单性和低成本的主要优势。 重要的是，这些膜可以在柔性底物上的大面积上进行完美地制作。 F＆S/Luna创新将与光电和聚合物合成大学研究人员合作，以快速过渡到最新的实验室结果到原型设备产品。ISAMElectrochromic Desceces在军事和商业领域中立即应用于廉价的，大面积，大面积，宽敞的机构，灵活的光明窗口，智能窗口，智能窗口以及汽车，汽车，以及汽车后视镜和天窗。
