 Plexcore® organic conductors and semiconductors

Display and Optoelectronics
 

NEW! Plexcore® electronic-grade organic conductors and semiconductors from Aldrich® Materials Science

Printed electronics holds the promise for many new applications. Research toward making printed organic solar cells, radio frequency identification tags and flexible displays depends on high-quality organic materials that will perform in devices you make in your lab. Plexcore organic semiconductors and conductive inks developed by Plextronics, Inc. are polythiophene-based platform technologies for organic electronics devices. They are now available for your research from Aldrich Materials Science:

Product Descriptions:


698989 Poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl), Mn 25,000-35,000(P3HT, Plexcore® OS 1100): Electronic-grade regioregular semiconductive polymer powder designed for organic circuitry (e.g. OFET) applications. Moderate molecular weight provides good solubility and high mobility. 698997 Poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl), Mn 45,000-65,000(P3HT, Plexcore OS 2100): Electronic-grade regioregular semiconductive polymer powder designed for organic photovoltaic (OPV) applications. High molecular weight and purity provide efficient light harvesting and hole transport.
