A method to produce microelectronic devices on textile and paper substrates

Trindade I.G., Miguel R., Lucas J., Pereira M., Santos Silva M., Universidade da Beira Interior, PT

In this article, electrically conducting coatings of poly(3, 4 – ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) were synthetized on textile substrates by the vapor phase polymerization (VPP) method, using water as solvent. The VPP method is considerably more sustainable [...]

Novel Composites of Carbon Nanotubes with a Poly(Phenylene Ethynylene) by Non-Covalent Wrapping for Photovoltaic Devices

Ramos J.C., Cortes P., Moggio I., Arias E., Martínez C., Moreno K.J., Universidad Autonoma de Ciudad Juarez, MX

Conjugated polymers exhibit optoelectronic properties comparable with those of inorganic semiconductors and with some advantage over them. By their side, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) offer a great opportunity for exciton dissociation. For this reason, the combination [...]
