Polymeric Materials for Energy Conversion

Thursday, October 20, 2011: 3:15 PM
L100 B (Minneapolis Convention Center)

Description:
Polymers and polymer based materials are already playing an important role in many different aspects of microelectronics and microsystems engineering. Moving forward, such materials are poised to play an even more significant role in organic electronic devices such as light-emitting diodes, photovoltaics, and thermoelectrics. This session welcomes papers from a diverse array of topics related to the design, synthesis, processing, characterization, and application of polymers in such areas.
