Printed Organic Electronics—Solution Processable Polymers and Interlayers

Dear Colleagues,

The possibility of printing organic electronic devices has been a driving force for the intensive research on organic electronics; nevertheless, it still remains as an unfulfilled promise. In spite of tremendous progress in the synthesis of new soluble and high-performance semiconducting polymers, the technology of printing electronics cannot overcome the laboratory scale.

In our opinion, in addition to solution processable polymers and polymer blends and composites (semiconductors, conductors, dielectrics, insulators, etc), the second class of components crucial for the development of printed organic electronics is different interlayers. Of high importance are both active interlayers, like electron or hole injection or blocking layers, and passive layers, like barrier materials or interlayers protecting the deposited active layer and allowing to print the next active layer.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
