Organic electronics
FIELD OF MATERIALS SCIENCE RESEARCHING ORGANIC SUBSTANCES WITH ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES
Plastic electronics; Laminar electronics; Polymer electronics
Organic electronics is a field of materials science concerning the design, synthesis, characterization, and application of organic molecules or polymers that show desirable electronic properties such as conductivity. Unlike conventional inorganic conductors and semiconductors, organic electronic materials are constructed from organic (carbon-based) molecules or polymers using synthetic strategies developed in the context of organic chemistry and polymer chemistry.
