Electronic Optical And Optoelectronic Polymers And Oligomers Volume 665

The papers from this four-day symposium include two talks from the 2000 Nobel Prize winners in chemistry, Professor Alan MacDiarmid and Professor Alan Heeger. The volume emphasizes the broad scientific and technological interest in applications of organic materials to electronics, optics, and optoelectronics. Materials synthesis and modification from the nanoscale to the mesoscale to the macroscale are discussed. Technological applications range from transistors and nanoelectronics, to light-emitting diodes, photovoltaics, photonic crystals, photodetectors, organic memories, and nonlinear optical materials. Topics include: electronic and optical properties; materials; devices; photovoltaics and transistors; self-assembly, nanostructures and printing; and growth and interfaces.

Polymers in Organic Electronics: Polymer Selection for Electronic, Mechatronic, and Optoelectronic Systems provides readers with vital data, guidelines, and techniques for optimally designing organic electronic systems using novel polymers. The book classifies polymer families, types, complexes, composites, nanocomposites, compounds, and small molecules while also providing an introduction to the fundamental principles of polymers and electronics. Features information on concepts and optimized types of electronics and a classification system of electronic polymers, including piezoelectric and pyroelectric, optoelectronic, mechatronic, organic electronic complexes, and more. The book is designed to help readers select the optimized material for structuring their organic electronic system.Chapters discuss the most common properties of electronic polymers, methods of optimization, and polymeric-structured printed circuit boards. The polymeric structures of optoelectronics and photonics are covered and the book concludes with a chapter emphasizing the importance of polymeric structures for packaging of electronic devices. Provides key identifying details on a range of polymers, micro-polymers, nano-polymers, resins, hydrocarbons, and oligomers Covers the most common electrical, electronic, and optical properties of electronic polymers Describes the underlying theories on the mechanics of polymer conductivity Discusses polymeric structured printed circuit boards, including their rapid prototyping and optimizing their polymeric structures Shows optimization methods for both polymeric structures of organic active electronic components and organic passive electronic components

Contains the contents of two symposia, both held in November 2001: the first part of the volume presents Symposium EE, "Electroactive Polymers and Their Applications as Actuators, Sensors, and Artificial Muscles." These papers address electroactive and nonelectroactive polymers; models, analysis, and simulation of EAP behavior; methods of testing and characterization of EAP properties and performance; support technologies including control, design, and fabrication processes; and applications of EAP actuators. The second part, Symposium Q titled "Rapid Prototyping Technologies--From Tissue Engineering to Conformal Electronics" contains five sections with papers addressing direct writing electronic components; rapid prototyping sensors and structures; energy storage and modeling; liquid and dispensing deposition; and tissue engineering.

A single-source treatment of developments in TFT production from international specialists. It interweaves overlapping areas in multiple disciplines pertinent to transistor fabrication and explores the killer application of amorphous silicon transistors in active matrix liquid crystal displays.

The MRS Symposium Proceeding series is an internationally recognised reference suitable for researchers and practitioners.

This book from the Materials Research Society emphasizes the broad scientific and technological interest in applications of organic materials to optoelectronics and optics. Materials synthesis, modification, and characterization from the nanoscale to the mesoscale to the macroscale are discussed. Approaches for modeling and theoretical analysis of these materials are highlighted. Also featured in the volume are a keynote talk from Professor Alan Heeger, 2000 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, as well as five papers from the Microphotonics symposium that address photonic crystals involving organic materials. Additional topics include: metal/organic interfaces - electronic structure and charge injection; photonic/nonlinear optical materials and devices; design and synthesis of electroluminescent materials; applications in displays; electrochromic polymers/sensors; organic transistors; photovoltaics and photodetectors - transport in bulk organic materials and novel patterning schemes.
