| Project Detail |
SmolSUB is a key tool in the progress of organic electronic devices (OEs). SmolSUB promotes the creation/discovery of new OEs, basic skeletons in organic field-effect transistors, (bio)sensors, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic solar cells (OSCs), soft-robotics, among others. SmolSUB presents a new, greener, and low-cost vision (in terms of materials, waste and energy required) in the testing of organic electronic materials on substrates of interest, using a simple methodology, applicable at different scales (basic laboratories and industry), inclusive with other existing ones and of fast execution, projecting a profound change in how to create, analyse and apply new OEs (from the combination of materials to their applications). SmolSUB is based on strategically designed sublimation devices, which under mild and eco-friendly conditions, allow the direct deposition of useful organic molecules on substrates of all kinds. The project foresees its usefulness in the creation of wearable electronics, imperceptible electronics, and smart packaging, among other applications, and will enhance the creation of new devices with flexibility and stretchability properties, born from the molecule+substrate synergy. SmolSUB seeks the validation of this methodology and the launch and real projection of commercialisation of the products presented here (through spin-offs or agreements with companies). |
