National Science Foundation’s Organic and Flexible Electronics Programs in the Engineering Directorate
Organic semiconductors display fascinating properties which has enabled their application in low-cost, high-efficiency organic photovoltaics (OPV), as well as in flexible and printed electronics for OLEDs for solid state lighting and displays. In particular, the [...]
Flexible thin films based on nanostructured polymeric composites as ultra sensitive piezoresistive materials and their applications
Laukhina E., Pfattner R., Ferreras L.R., Mas-Torrent M., Laukhin V., Laukhina E., Rovira C., Veciana J., Institut Ciencia de Materials de Barcelona (CSIC)/CIBER-BBN, ES
The development of intelligent materials that respond to the application of external stimuli is of major interest for the fabrication of artificial sensing devices able to sense and transmit information about the external changes produced [...]
Decoupled Temperature and Moisture Sensor Made of CNT-Based Nanomaterials on Flexible Plastic Substrates
The moisture sensor is based on resistance change in the IDE structure. For the prototyped humidity sensors, a resistance change of more than 20% was observed while monitoring a moisture increase of 15% at room [...]
Pressure dependence of phase transition of organic material, 9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracene (ADN), under vacuum
Phase transition characteristics of an organic material, 9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracene(ADN), used for Organic Light Emitting Diode(OLED) is evaluated under vacuum. The phase transition shows up as plateau in a temperature curve of ADN material when it is [...]
Separation and ink formulation of high purity semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes with polymers for printed thin film transistors
In this work, a new approach to sorting SWCNTs based on regioregular poly(3-dodecylthiophene) (rr-P3DDT) has been reported. Effective separation of semiconducting-SWCNTs has been demonstrated by tuning the types of solvent, temperature and centrifugation rate. Figure [...]
Screen Printed Aluminum Cathode for Flexible Devices
Fei F., Su W.M., Cui Z., Suzhou Insititute of Nano-Tech and Nano-Bionics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN
A novel method has been studied for fabricating printed low-work-function aluminum (Al) films. It was used an Al precursor ink, OAlH3 (C2H5)2, which can easily decomposed into Al and H2 at normal pressure and low [...]
Solution processed high Performance thin-film transistors using polymer/SWCNT composite ink
Zhang D., Zhang F., Lv N., Zhang D., Zhang F., Qiu S., Cui Z., Suzhou Institute of Nanotech, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN
Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) are increasingly being used for making inks for printed or solution processed thin-film transistors (TFTs) in printed and flexible electronics. However, the inherent insolubility of carbon nanotubes in most organic [...]
ZnO-Based Inverters for Flexible Electronics
Gutierrez-Heredia G., Mejia I., Rivas-Aguilar M.E., Aguirre-Tostado F.S., Quevedo-Lopez M.A., The University of Texas at Dallas, US
We report the development of low power ZnO-based inverters. Inverters were evaluated as function of gate dielectric thicknesses and electrically characterized at several power supply voltages. The logic inverters gain increases one order of magnitude [...]
