NMP-2004-3.4.2.3-1 - Materials by design: multifunctional organic materials

The flexibility in the design and processing of organic solids (usually polymers) allows them to meet the requirements of many technologically significant applications. Multifunctional organic materials are used in displays, electronic circuits, solar cells, chemical sensors and actuators, lasers, storage media and electronic paper, as well as for insulation and packaging in electronics.
The expected STREPs should aim at highly innovative long-term research for the development of new multifunctional organic materials for electronics, including modelling and experimentation, and considering as well their processing and potential applications. The objective is to increase the capability of industry to have materials with characteristics needed for the intended applications. Molecular and nano-electronics are excluded.
