Self-organised materials for flexible electronics

有机电子的出现正在改变当前的电子技术，这将导致轻质柔性设备，如可折叠显示器，建筑集成照明和低成本太阳能电池。器件效率和耐用性的最大改进将通过精确控制从分子到体积尺度的材料结构来实现。该项目将通过设计智能材料来解决这个问题，这些材料可以自组织并增强特定应用所需的性能。在结构-性质-功能关系方面将获得新的见解，成功的概念将用于组装有机电子应用中定义明确的宏观材料。

The emergence of organic electronics is transforming current electronic technologies that will lead to light-weight flexible devices such as foldable displays, building-integrated lighting and low-cost solar cells. The greatest improvements in efficiency and durability of devices will be achieved through precise control of material structure from molecular to bulk scales. This project will address this problem by designing smart materials that can self-organise and enhance the properties required for specific applications. New insights will be acquired in structure-property-function relations and successful concepts will be used to assemble well-defined macroscopic materials in organic electronic applications.
