Organic Electronics From Synthesis To Applications

Book excerpt: Organic electronics is one of the most exciting emerging areas of materials science. It is a highly interdisciplinary research area involving scientists and engineers who develop organic molecules with interesting properties for a variety of applications in technical industries (e.g. circuitry, energy harvesting/storage, etc.) and medical applications (e.g. bioelectronics for sensors, tissue scaffolds for tissue engineering, etc.). This Research Topic collects articles that report advances in chemistry (e.g. design and synthesis of molecules with various molecular weights and structures); physical chemistry and chemical physics, and computational/theoretical research (e.g. to push the boundaries of our understanding); chemical engineering (e.g. design, prototyping and manufacturing devices); materials scientists and technologists to explore different markets for the technologies employing such materials, the organic bioelectronics field and green/sustainable electronics.
