Organic Electronics Materials: New Revenues and New Challenges

And this budding industry is not resting on its laurels when it comes to improved semiconductors either. There is a lot more on this is our new report, but a material to watch is certainly rubrene which promises single crystal organic transistors with radically improved performance. We also expect a lot to come from new formulations which combine organic materials with carbon nanotubes. These hybrids will offer the printability, wide area capabilities and suitability for flexible substrates of organic materials with the high performance of carbon nanotube electronics; this a much more practical use for carbon nanotubes in electronics that the pure carbon nanotube electronics that was being promised a few years back. As a result carbon nanotube electronics firms, such as Nantero, are now looking to organic electronics for first markets.
