Patents by Inventor Manuel HAMBURGER

Manuel HAMBURGER 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: 10629815
    Abstract: The invention relates to new conjugated semiconducting polymers containing thermally cleavable side groups. The thermally cleavable side groups are selected from among carbonate groups and carbamate groups. By thermally cleaving side groups, the solubility or the polymers can be reduced in a targeted manner. The polymers are used as semiconductors in organic electronic (OE) devices, especially in organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices, organic photodetectors (OPDs), organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), and organic field effect transistors (OFETs).
