Directed Self-Ordering Of Organic Molecules For Electronic Devices, Innovations-report

Excerpts: A simple surface treatment technique (...) potentially offers a low-cost way to mass produce large arrays of organic electronic transistors on polymer sheets for a wide range of applications including flexible displays, "intelligent paper" and flexible sheets of biosensor arrays for field diagnostics. In a paper (...) the team describes how a chemical pretreatment of electrical contacts can induce self-assembly of molecular crystals to both improve the performance of organic semiconductor devices and provide electrical isolation between devices. Organic electronic devices are inching towards the market. (...)
