Investigation of the electronic and optical properties of PEtOx hydrophilic polymer in biomedical applications

In this thesis, poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (other names a-benzyl, ω-thiol terminated, polyoxazoline) (PEtOx, POx) hydrophilic polymer were extensively investigated. For this purpose, important parameters such as absorption band edge, molar extinction coefficient, optical band gap, refractive index, contrast, optical and electrical conductivity of PETOx hydrophilic polymer were obtained. The equivalents of these parameters in biomedical applications were investigated. In particular, the refractive indices of the PEtOx hydrophilic polymer were developed for optimal biomedical applications. On the other hand, optoelectronic parameters of PEtOx hydrophilic polymer were obtained and compared for different conditions (solvents and doping). Finally, the effect of different wavelengths on the optoelectronic parameters of the PEtOx hydrophilic polymer was also investigated. Thus, with the original and important results obtained, the related gaps in the literature were filled with the contributions of PEtOx hydrophilic polymer to biomedical applications.
