Following the initial demonstration of field-effect conduction in small organic molecules and conjugated polymers, the community of industrial and academic research groups that are interested in using organic semiconductors as the active layer in organic field-effect transistor (OFET) devices has been growing steadily, particularly over the last four to five years. The Institute for Scientific ...

The discovery of semi-conducting and conducting organic materials has opened new possibilities for electronic devices and systems. Applications, previously unattainable for conventional electronics, have become possible thanks to the development of conjugated polymers. Conjugated polymers that are both ionand electron conducting, allow for electrochemical doping and de-doping via reversible pro...

Novel mono- and ball-type Co(ii), Zn(ii) and Cu(ii) metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) were synthesized from 1,1'-p-anisylidenbis(2-naphthoxyphthalonitrile). The MPcs have been characterized by elemental analysis, UV/Vis, IR and (1)H-NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The performances of organic field effect transistors (OFETs) of the dinuclear ball-type MPcs have been compared to tho...

The growth of micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) based sensors on the electronic market is forecast to be invigorated soon by the development of a new branch of MEMS-based sensors made of organic materials. Organic MEMS have the potential to revolutionize sensor products due to their light weight, low-cost and mechanical flexibility. However, their sensitivity and stability in comparison to...

Despite having favorable optoelectronic and thermomechanical properties, the wide application of semiconducting polymers still suffers from limitations, particularly with regards to their processing in solution which necessitates toxic chlorinated solvents due intrinsic low solubility common organic solvents. This work presents a novel greener approach fabrication electronics without use Low-mo...

Evolving flexible electronics requires the development of high-mobility and low-power organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) that are crucial for emerging displays, sensors, label technologies. Among diverse materials, polymer gate dielectrics two-dimensional (2D) crystals have intrinsic flexibility natural compatibility with each other OFETs high performance; however, their combination lacks...

The detection and quantification of Cs+ in aquatic media are an environmental safety public health matter, so far limited by the lack rapid, low cost, limit selective analytical tools. Herein we demonstrate efficient fabrication a novel electrolyte-gated organic field-effect transistor sensor for seawater based on combination two ultra-thin layers namely poly(3-hexylthiophene) as semiconductor ...
