Organic Electronics: Low-energy Operation and Turnability

Organic electronics is a field with much promise.

Organic electronic materials are?constructed on a carbon-based backbone much like polymers. They are created by means of a chemical synthesis called polymerization.

Organic electronic materials?are very versatile regarding their opto-electronic properties and the application they enable.

Organic materials have recently emerged as building blocks of neural processing?and possess basic forms of neuroplasticity that are able to emulate brain-like functionality at the device level.

Compared to inorganic materials, the excellent?characteristics of?organic electronic materials, such as low-energy operation and tunability, allow these materials to be used as a first step toward efficient neuromorphic computing systems.

In reality, devices based on organic-mixed conductors demonstrate good electrical stability as well as excellent endurance and allow for direct control of material characteristics.

Most analysts believe organic electronics is a promising technology as it?allows for high-throughput manufacturing of the eco-friendly, low-cost, ultralightweight, flexible devices with various optoelectronic or electronic functionalities.

Analysts cite quite a few attractive properties of polymeric conductors such as their electrical conductivity (which can be varied by the concentrations of dopants) and comparatively high mechanical flexibility.

Conductive polymers?are lighter, more?flexible, and less expensive than inorganic conductors. This makes them a desirable alternative in many applications. It also creates the possibility of new applications that would be impossible using copper or silicon.

Organic electronics not only includes?organic semiconductors, but also organic?dielectrics, conductors and?light emitters.

New applications include?smart windows?and?electronic paper.?Conductive polymers?are expected to play an important role in the emerging science of?molecular computers.
