Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Conventional electronic circuitry (i.e. as developed for telecommunications, personal computers and domestic appliances) is based around the semiconductor silicon. Plastic electronics is a rapidly developing field of research in which the individual devices are based on organic (e.g. polymer or plastic) materials. The advantages of such plastic circuitry is that it is relatively cheap to produce and it can be made in large area and flexible forms (e.g. suitable for displays). This project focuses on the development of memory elements for plastic electronics technology. The work will follow up a successful project at Durham in which the charge storage elements are small metallic particles (nanoparticles).
