Abstract: A medium for an electro-optic element includes a first block copolymer unit including at least one of a first di-block copolymer and first tri-block copolymer and at least one of a first donor compound and first acceptor compound conjugated with the at least one of the first di-block copolymer and first tri-block copolymer, thereby forming the first block copolymer unit. The medium further includes a second block copolymer unit including at least one of a second di-block copolymer and second tri-block copolymer and at least one of a second donor compound and a second acceptor compound conjugated with the at least one of the second di-block copolymer and second tri-block copolymer, thereby forming the second block copolymer unit. The first block copolymer unit is polymerized with the second block copolymer unit.

Abstract: An electro-optic device may comprise a first substrate having a first surface and a second surface; a second substrate having a third surface and a fourth surface, the second substrate disposed in a spaced-apart relationship relative to the first substrate such that the second and third surfaces are generally parallel to and face one another; a first electrode associated with the second surface; a second electrode associated with the third surface; a styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) anionic exchange membrane disposed between the first and second electrodes; a first compartment defined by the SEBS anionic exchange membrane and the first substrate; a second compartment defined by the SEBS anionic exchange membrane and the second substrate; a cathodic species disposed in the first compartment; and an anodic species disposed in the second compartment.

Abstract: Plasmonically enhanced electric fields are used to deposit particles at selected locations through decomposition or electron transfer reactions with precursor molecules in gas or liquid phase. The location of the enhanced electric fields is controlled through a combination of plasmonic substrate structure shape, material, incident light wavelength and polarization. The particles are deposited at designated locations only, whereby no deposition occurs at locations lacking enhanced electric fields. Many reaction variables can be used to change the rate of particle deposition such as precursor molecules, exposure time, precursor concentration, and temperature making for a highly customizable reaction space.
