  • Abstract
    The motivation to use the perylene-based polymers shown here is centered on the material´s stability in ambient conditions relative to other widely used photo-active organic materials, very low cost (30¿/ m2 for 250 nm thick film of the precursor shown below), solution processability (historically analogous materials have required thermal evaporation which is not as amenable to large scale production), and optoelectronic properties.
