New Organic Conductor for Electronic Devices

A new organic polymer has been developed. It can be laid down using simple printing techniques rather than the expensive and elaborate methods used to process silicon, 6 times faster than previous organic polymers.

Now just as fast as silicon plus much cheaper, this inexpensive organic conductor could be used in areas where silicon struggles to compete, eventually slashing the cost of transistors, PDA’s, flat panel screens and bringing electronic paper into common use.
