Patents by Inventor Christopher J. Takacs

Christopher J. Takacs has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10128441
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include methods and materials for preparing organic semiconducting layers, for example one used in an organic semiconductor device including a substrate with a nanostructured surface and an organic semiconductor film overlying the nanostructured surface. The semiconductor film is typically formed from macroscopically ordered polymer fibers made from selected conjugate polymer compounds. Such polymer fibers synthesized from selected conjugated polymer compounds and directionally aligned in organic semiconductor devices can provide these devices improved functional properties, including for example, unexpectedly high field effect saturation mobilities.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 13, 2017
    Date of Patent: November 13, 2018
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Hsin-Rong Tseng, Lei Ying, Ben B. Y. Hsu, Christopher J. Takacs, Guillermo C. Bazan, Alan J. Heeger
