Yao Wu*, Yao Liu, Todd Emrick*, and Thomas P. Russell* have published a paper in Progress in Polymer Science entitled, Polymer design to promote low work function surfaces in organic electronics.
Organic electronics are advantageous for mechanical flexibility, light weight, and easy solution processibility over large area. The interlayer materials present between the organic active layer and electrodes are critical elements for promoting efficient device operation. We overview the latest progress where polymer interlayer materials are used in efficient OE device fabrication and propose future potential directions and opportunities.
