Small-Scale Roll Coating As A Transitional Stage In The Scaling Of Organic Electronic Device Fabrication Techniques, Jared Benson

Graduate College Dissertations and Theses

Incredible achievements have been made in the field of organic electronics in small-scale laboratory settings. A topic of increasing importance is the realization of the potential for these technologies to be applied in an industrial setting. This is a deceptively challenging process, considering that many of the procedures used to attain exceptional results in a laboratory setting are not viable for translation to larger scale fabrication efforts. Moreover, upscaling fabrication is further complicated by the enormous barrier of entry due to the expensive equipment required to fabricate organic electronics at larger scale as well as the exponentially greater quantity of …
