Organic electronics is a rapidly evolving field with large number of applications having high possibility of commercial success. Even though a great progress has been created, many organic electronic applications: organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field effect transistors (OFETs), organic solar cells, etc; still require further optimisation to satisfy the requirements for successful commercialization. For most applications, on offer at this time organic materials don’t provide satisfactory performance and stability, which hinders the possibility of a large-scale production. Therefore, the crucial ingredient required for a successful improvement in performance and stability of organic electronic devices is in-depth knowledge of physical and chemical properties of molecular and polymeric materials…
