| Description | New polymers have been synthesised with functional end-groups that will allow them to be attached to specific substrates for single molecule studies. The novelty of the work is the challenging functionalisation of the polymer chains at the two termini of the polymer chains. The photophysical properties of these materials have been studied and their molecular weights determined by GPC measurements. The materials are fluorescent, and the manipulation of these properties is being studied by our partners at the University of St Andrews. |
| Exploitation Route | We have established a synthetic protocol that allows for end-chain functionalisation of poly(fluorene) polymers and this methodology can be used by other synthetic chemistry research groups to make other polymers. |

| Results and Impact | 410 delegates attended a virtual meeting organised by Professors PJ Skabara and I Samuel on 16-17 June 2021. ICSM is the largest conference devoted to the field of organic electronics and has showcased many of the most important developments in the field over the last 40 years. It is a biennial meeting and the free virtual event was organised as a stop-gap between the last (2018) and next (2022) in-person ICSM meetings, since the 2020 meeting was postponed due to the pandemic. |

| Results and Impact | Channel 4 and 10 UK universities took part in a videoconference with the President of Ukraine in June 2022, including the University of Glasgow, LSE, University of Birmingham, University of Cambridge, University of London, Coventry University, King's College, University of Manchester, University of Oxford and UCL. The Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK Vadym Prystaiko was also present. The videoconference was organised in support of Ukrainian researchers and students in the UK over the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Professor PJ Skabara addressed President Zelensky and introduced questions from the Glasgow University Ukrainian Society. The event gave outstanding morale support for Ukrainian academics and students across the UK, including three Ukrainian postdoctoral researchers from Professor Skabara's group who are employed on EPSRC projects. |
