Description
Sustainable Strategies in Organic Electronics reviews green materials and devices, sustainable processes in electronics, and the reuse, recycling and degradation of devices. Topics addressed include large-scale synthesis and fabrication of safe device materials processes that neither use toxic reagents, solvents or produce toxic by-products. Emerging opportunities such as new synthetic approaches for enabling the commercialization of pi-conjugated polymer-based devices are explored, along with new efforts towards incorporating materials from renewable resources for a low carbon footprint. Finally, the book discusses the latest advances towards device biodegradability and recycling. It is suitable for materials scientists and engineers, chemists, physicists in academia and industry.- Discusses emerging opportunities for green materials, synthesis and fabrication of organic electronics- Reviews the challenges of integration of sustainable strategies in large-scale manufacturing of organic electronics- Provides an overview of green materials and solvents that can be used as alternatives to toxic materials for organic electronics applications
