ABSTRACT

Use of organic materials to build electronic devices holds the promise that future electronic manufacturing will rely on fewer, safer, and more abundant raw materials. Chemical scientists use different types of organic materials such as small molecules and polymers, fullerenes, nanotubes, graphene and carbon-based molecular structures, ensemble of molecule and molecular structures, and hybrid materials for the researches in electronics. These materials are used to build electronic structures and integrate those structures into those electronic devices. For example, small molecules and polymers are used in the manufacturing of organic light-emitting diodes displays, solar cells, transistors, etc. Carbon-based materials are being researched and developed mostly to create bendable or rollable electronic displays and other flexible devices. Organic electronics has the potential to make electronic production, use, and dispose more environmentally sustainable.
