Jim Pfaendtner, University of Washington

This project report contains the activities from our no-cost extension third year of funding

No new research was conducted during the NCE year. Funds were used to support an MS student for one quarter while she finished her degree (she transitioned from the PhD program to the terminal MS program). Funds were used to support editing and publication of the MS thesis and one publication in collaboration with another research group.

The year 2 project summary contains the majority of new research findings that were obtained with this DNI grant.

One new publication was submitted and published:

G. Newbloom, S. Hoffmann, A. West, M. Gile, P. Sista,; H. Cheung, C. Luscombe, J. Pfaendtner, L. D. Pozzo, “Solvatochromism and Conformational Changes in Fully Dissolved Poly(3-alkylthiophene)s”, in press, Langmuir, DOI: 10.1021/la503666x, 2015.
