Polymers in Organic Electronics: Polymer Selection for Electronic, Mechatronic, and Optoelectronic Systems

Polymers in Organic Electronics: Polymer Selection for Electronic, Mechatronic, and Optoelectronic Systems provides readers with vital data, guidelines, and techniques for optimally designing organic electronic systems built out of novel polymers. It starts by classifying polymer families, types, complexes, composites, nanocomposites, compounds, and small molecules while also providing an introduction to the fundamental principles of each polymers and electronics. Information on concepts and optimized types of electronics as well as a classification system of electronic polymers such as piezoelectric and pyroelectric, optoelectronic, mechatronic, organic electronic complexes, and more help readers select the optimized material for structuring their organic electronic system. Following chapters discuss the most common properties of electronic polymers, methods of optimization, as well as polymeric-structured printed circuit boards. The polymeric structures of optoelectronics and photonics are covered and the book concludes with a chapter emphasizing the importance of polymeric structures for packaging of electronic devices.
