Polymer Electronics which is a new era of electronics which reduces electronic waste by reuse of obtained products

2. BACKGROUND OF ELECTRONICS….
 With the invention of transistors in early half of
19th century, the field of electronics has
undergone innumerable changes
 Entire concept of electronics is
based on semi-conductors
 Silicon is such most widely used
material in manufacture of
electronic circuits

3. DISADVANTAGES BY USAGE OF SILICON….
 Production of silicon embedded circuits involves
a huge investment
 These circuits also consume more power
 Silicon chips are not flexible
 Products made by use of silicon
are not portable
 This has led to the emergence
of “Polytronics”

4. WHAT IS POLYTRONICS ….??
 Polymer electronics is shortly defined as
“Polytronics”
 ‘Poly’ means ‘many’ and ‘mer’ means ‘parts’
 Polymer is a macro molecule composed of many
repeated sub-units
 In this field conjugated polymers are widely used
in the manufacture of electronic products

5. HOW DOES A POLYMER CONDUCTS ..?
 By obeying Ohm’s law
 Ohm’s law defines conductivity in polymers as flow
of electrons or ions
 The steps involved in conduction are
a) Doping
b) Mobility of electrons
c) Conductivity

6. ADVANTAGES…..
 Freedom in design
 Cost effective
 Environment friendly
 Compact portable products
 Consumes less power
 Increased picture quality in display devices
 Recycled and reused
 Light in weight and small

7. APPLICATIONS….
 Ink-Jet printing technology
 Electronic paper
 Plastic batteries
 Oled(organic led)
