Presentation Summary

  • Polyethylenedioxythiophene-polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT/PSS, CLEVIOS(TM) P) is a versatile inherently conductive polymer and a solution-processable alternative to ITO in Transparent Conductor applications
  • The basic structural properties of the PEDOT/PSS polymer and its chemical and physical interactions with a variety of coating additives will be summarized. Easy-to-use coating formulations can be optimized for specific applications that require transparent conductive coatings.
  • Additional products in the portfolio for printed electronics will be discussed that include Oligothiophene Semiconductors, High Work Function HIL coatings, and new Highly Conductive PEDOT/PSS materials for the production of Organic Transistors.
