From Conducting Polymers to Carbon Nanotubes: New Horizons in Plastic Microelectronics and Carbon Nanoelectronics

  • Chapter
Perspectives of Fullerene Nanotechnology

  • 659 Accesses

Abstract

Owing to their substantial π-electron delocalization, conjugated conducting polymers, fullerenes, and carbon nanotubes have been shown to possess interesting electrical, magnetic, and optical properties that are attractive for many potential applications in optoelectronic devices. In order to fabricate useful devices, however, these materials often need to be aligned and/or patterned at micro-/nano-scales. In this chapter, we present an overview of various patterning techniques used for the development of conducting polymer (plastic) microelectronics and nanoelectronics based on C 60 and carbon nanotubes.
