CONDUCTING ORGANICS AND POLYMERS FOR ELECTRONIC AND OPTICAL-DEVICES

In the past 20 years, organic molecular crystals and organic polymers have been prepared in a variety of forms such that electrical conductivity can be systematically controlled over a range of 10 orders of magnitude. Recently, a number of potential applications have emerged from this research. This paper provides a brief overview of current research into the possibility of using organic polymers and charge-transfer complexes to fabricate electronic and optical devices.
