“…13 The discovery of organic semi-conducting materials (Shirakawa et al 1977) led to visions about the use of conjugated organic molecules and organic/inorganic composites to conduct current, emit light, and act as semiconductors, and to exploit the mechanical properties (flexibility) of these materials. This would create a shift from present silicon and lithography based manufacturing in the electronics industry to potentially cleaner, more flexible and cost effective manufacturing processes like printing (Shaw and Seidler 2001). One effect might be that printer manufacturers and printing industry would make their entry in the electronics industry -a change in industry structure.…”

Newly emerging science and technologies (NEST) are shaped by dynamics of promises. There is a paradoxical effect: diffuse and open-ended promises are forceful in policy discourse, but may hinder the realisation of these promises. Innovation actors are reluctant to invest in concrete developments because the promises are open-ended, and eventual demand is not articulated. This is a structural issue, and leads to 'waiting games' in which actors are entangled. We show how the occurrence of waiting games is linked to dual dynamics of promises in two fields where nanotechnology offers an open-ended ('umbrella') promise: organic and large area electronics and nano-enabled drug delivery. Based on such understanding of dynamics, our scenario exercises explored strategies to overcome waiting games.

“…For this reason various organic semiconductors were synthesized and studied. [4][5][6] Organic semiconductors are mostly p-type, leading to prevalent p-type conduction; however, n-type behavior has been realized. 2,[7][8][9] Several n-type organic transistors have been fabricated using TCNQ (tetracyanoquinodimethane) single crystals.…”

“…Conjugated polymers are very promising semi-conducting materials for applications in electronic, optoelectronic and photonic devices [1]. Photoluminescence and electroluminescence studies of conjugated polymers have suggested that luminescence transition energies are sensitive to conformational changes [2,3].…”

We present theoretical investigations of structural and electronic properties of ground-state and low-lying excited singlet states in isolated chains of conjugated polymers using a self-consistent quantum molecular dynamics method. With this approach, we have determined the energy of both states as function of the twist angle between two planar segments of the same polymer chain, for polymer chains with variable length. The conjugated polymers investigated here are poly(para-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) and polydiacetylene (PDA). Our results show that the energy of the excited-state increases more than that of the ground-state, as the twist angle increases up to 90º degrees. The change in the twist angle of both polymers leads to a blueshift in luminescence transition energy, the effect being stronger in PPV when the planar segments have similar sizes. The predicted blueshift in both polymers is dependent on the chain length, the effect being more pronounced for shorter-chains.
