Polymeric Materials for OLEDs, Photovoltaics, and Organic Electronics


Description:
Polymers and polymer based materials are already playing an important role in many differentaspects of microelectronics and microsystems engineering. Moving forward, such materials are poised to play an even more significant role as the research on and use of organic light emitting diodes, photovoltaic devices, and organic electronic devices continues to expand. This session welcomes papers from a diverse array of topics related to the design, synthesis, processing, chracterization, and application of polymers in such areas.
