Organic semiconductors: Opening new perspectives in sustainable electronics — •Karl Leo — IAPP, TU Dresden

Organic semiconductors enable a variety of novel applications for flexible, lightweight, and environmentally friendly electronics. One unique advantage of these carbon-based materials is their compatibility with body tissue, thus opening perspetives for completely new medical applications on and even in the human body. Furthermore, the materials set available in this technology allows biodegradability and thus sustainable electronics without the serious environmental issue of conventional electronics. In the first part of my talk, I will show examples how organic electronic devices can be used in postsurgical monitoring, avoiding life-threatening complications. In the second part of the talk, I will address lignocellulose leaf skeleton structures (Leaftronics) as basis for a variety of novel applications, such as semitransparent electrodes.
