Development of robust analytical methods for the quantification of trace elements in speciality polymers

The presence of metals impurities in conjugated polymers can have important consequences on their
performances and lifespan. Yet, measuring trace levels of metals in polymeric matrices is challenging both in
terms of sample preparation and detectability. In this project, we aim at assessing diverse approaches to
overcome the challenges associated with the measure of numerous metals in speciality polymers.
