This project is in the general area of materials chemistry.  It                 involves the chemical synthesis of "effect" polymers which will                 exhibit non-linear optical properties.  Stiff polymers with extended            axial dimensions may possess a wide variety of material properties of           interest, including special optical properties, and the ability to              exhibit extraordinary strength. The polymers under investigation are            characterized by extended helical conformations which arise because of          the interplay between conjugative and steric forces.  The helical               dissymmetry of these systems allows control of the axial dimension              through stereochemistry.  This research will provide a correlation              between the materials properties and those chemical factors which               impart chain stiffness.  The materials chemistry aspects of this                research have important implications in telecommunications and optical          information processing.
