Integration of electronic and photonic devices, especially chip-scale integration, is dramatically impacting telecommunication, computing, and sensing technologies (Dalton et. al., 2010; Dalton & Benight, 2011; Benight et. al., 2009). For organic electronics and photonics, control of molecular order is crucial for effective device performance. For organic photonics, formation of molecular aggre...

Objective: To correlate clinical variables (gestational age, severe pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus, history of previous cesarean sections, fetal distress, perinatal mortality , postpartum anemia, Apgar score-<3 at 1 minute and-<7 at 5 minutes, and instrumental delivery) with postpartum endometritis (PPE) and wound infection. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional st...

The emerging field of "organic" or "plastic" electronics has brought low-voltage, ultrathin, and energy-efficient lighting and displays to market as organic light-emitting diode (OLED) televisions and displays in cameras and mobile phones. Despite using carbon-based materials as the light-emitting layer, previous efficient organic electronic light-emitting devices have required at least one met...

investigated for a number of low-cost, large-area applications, particularly those that are compatible with flexible plastic circuits1-12. The organic materials that have been used as active semiconductor materials include both sublimed and solutionprocessed semiconductors such as pentacene6,7,13-24, oligothiophenes21,22,25-32, hexadecafluorocopper phthalocyanine28-33, polythiophene8,32,34-39, ...

The organic electronic ion pump (OEIP) provides flow-free and accurate delivery of small signaling compounds at high spatiotemporal resolution. To date, the application of OEIPs has been limited to delivery of nonaromatic molecules to mammalian systems, particularly for neuroscience applications. However, many long-standing questions in plant biology remain unanswered due to a lack of technolog...

We report the fabrication, at low-temperature, of solution processed graphene transistors based on carefully engineered graphene/organic dielectric interfaces. Graphene transistors based on these interfaces show improved performance and reliability when compared with traditional SiO(2) based devices. The dielectric materials investigated include Hyflon AD (Solvay), a low-k fluoropolymer, and va...

Organic electronics is the study of organic materials with electronic functionality and the applications of such materials. In the 1970s, the discovery that polymers can be made electrically conductive led to an explosion within this field which has continued to grow year by year. One of the attractive features of organic electronic materials is their inherent mechanical flexibility, which has ...
