| Review: |
Advanced printing technologies are being used to fabricate the 'plastic electronics', including photodiodes, photovoltaic cells, thin-film transistors and lasers, which evolved in the 1990s. The developments in electronic applications of organic molecular and polymeric materials are discussed in this book. Novel electronic devices fabricated from conjugated polymers or from organic molecular solids are emerging in the marketplace. The role of interfaces in this context is central to the device applications, as the interfaces control the carrier injection. In this book 79 leading scientists contribute to an up-to-date analysis of the fundamentals of the properties of organic interfaces and a practical approach to the formation and improvement of these interfaces. Chapters cover issues from basic or fundamental materials science to device applications, pointing out the role of interfaces in each case. |
