organic-electronic

Gas and water permeation barrier films play a vital part in applications ranging from food and pharmaceutical packaging to electronic devices. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, like graphene, are highly promising as ultra-high barrier materials, and their atomic thinness, mechanical stability, optical transparency and thermal properties offers many new possibilities and device form factors.

Are organic semiconductors as good as silicon semiconductors ? Apparently they are even better! Prof. Thomas Weitz and colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research and at BASF are able to produce highly efficient organic thin film transistors.
