Symposium F

Organic Electronics and hybrids: materials and devices

Scope:

The Symposium intends to bring together chemists, materials scientists, physicists, and engineers from both academia and industry to share information on the organic materials and hybrids for new technologies. It includes all types of organic / inorganic functional materials, their electronic and photophysics properties and device applications. The research topics include all types of synthesis, processing techniques (molecular crystals, multilayers, self-assemblies, and ultrathin films), compounds (composites and blends), micro- and nano-fabrication, interfaces, spectroscopic characterization (linear and non-linear), morphology, electronic, and photonic properties. In addition, the symposium is equally opened for electronic, photonic and hybrid devices: light-emitting diodes (LEDs), field-effect transistors (FETs), organic photovoltaics (PVs), integrated circuits, non-volatile memories, sensors, actuators and detectors.

Session Topics:

• Synthesis of conjugated molecules and polymers, hybrid, and compounds
• Interfaces: advances in material processing
• Photonic, photophysic, and photochemistry of conjugated molecules and polymers
• Organic, photonic, and hybrid devices
• Micro- and nano-fabrication of organic or hybrid materials
• Organic sensors and biosensors
• Theoretical modeling of conjugated molecules or polymers and organic devices
