Abstract

The word Polymer in the term Polymer Electronics is not used in its chemical sense but rather used to embrace a wide variety of materials whose common characteristic is that they are amenable to printing processes rather than conventional electronics processes. In that sense, polymer electronic technology may involve not only organic materials, amongst others polymers in the chemical sense, but also inorganic materials, and nano- composites, such as printable metals.
