  • Patent number: 10043978
    Abstract: The present teachings relate to organic semiconductor formulations including an organic semiconducting compound in a liquid medium, where the liquid medium includes (1) a compound in liquid state that has electronic properties complementary to the electronic structure of the organic semiconducting compound and optionally (2) a solvent or solvent mixture for solubilizing the organic semiconducting compound. The present formulations can be used as inks in the fabrication of organic semiconductor devices.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9341948
    Abstract: Described herein is a solution-processable composition for preparing a photopatternable material. The solution-processable composition generally includes (a) an oligomeric siloxane component that includes, based on its total weight, between about 40% by weight and about 100% by weight one or more cage-structured polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes that are functionalized with one or more crosslinkable moieties such as cycloaliphatic epoxy moieties, (b) a polymerization initiator; (c) one or more thermosettable polymers that collectively are present in an amount between about 1% by weight and about 20% by weight based on the total weight of the oligomeric siloxane component; and (d) a solvent.

  • Publication number: 20150056553
    Abstract: The present inorganic-organic hybrid materials can be patterned with relatively low photo-exposure energies and are thermally stable, mechanically robust, resist water penetration, and show good adhesion to metal oxides, metals, metal alloys, as well as organic materials. The present materials can be solution-processed (e.g., by spin-coating), and can exhibit good chemical (e.g., solvent and etchant) resistance in the cured form.
