The field of organic and printed electronics (OPE) is well established in terms of academic, scientific, and technological research. The mass applications, ranging from displays to printed sensors to photovoltaics, are growing and becoming all the more relevant today. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to organic flexible and printed electronics, their fundamental aspects, core technologies, and applications and is authored by international expert practitioners in the field. The book is a key reference resource specially designed to address students in their final undergraduate or beginning graduate studies as well as engineers interested in approaching this field from an application perspective. In this second edition of the book, almost all chapters have been revised and updated. Among others, the second edition includes new chapters on smart textiles and on photovoltaics. The chapter on characterization techniques has been expanded and includes new references to standards. The contents on circular economy, innovation management, and roadmapping chapters have been largely augmented and updated. Finally, the chapter on hands-on experiments includes new set-ups on dye solar cells and supercapacitors.

Organic and printed electronics (OPE) have been developing over the past two decades as an enabling set of technologies as well as an area of scientific investigations. As we write, hundreds of scientific articles are written on the topic yearly, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are ubiquitous in mobile phones, organic photovoltaics are being installed in building facades and printed sensors provide key functionalities to automobiles.

Printed electronics still has a lot of potential to make a larger and positive impact on the lives of millions of people. The purpose of this book is to provide a first introduction and orientation to the new students and professionals approaching this multifaceted field each year.

There are many high-level monographs and specialized books covering several essential aspects ranging from organic semiconducting materials chemistry to advanced device processing and physics. However, these books are often very specific and are meant for advanced postgraduate students or experts in the field. This book is an attempt to introduce a vast and varied field of technology, science, and applications to students in their final undergraduate or beginning graduate studies, as well as engineers interested in approaching new fields.

The chapter order is meant to introduce first the core concepts of organic semiconductors and printing technologies. The next section introduces the reader to key device types and building blocks, namely transistors, light-emitting diodes, solar cells, and power storage. In the following chapter, sensors are presented as an example of more complex system-level integration. Encapsulation is a separate topic, given its importance in ensuring lifetime performance at the component and the system level. The integration of OPE into conventional electronics (hybrid systems) as well as the fast-developing topic of smart textiles complete this first part of the book. The final chapters are of a broader nature, presenting larger perspectives on the application fields, their evolution, the challenges related to innovation, and environmental impact. Finally, real-life practice is for many the best way to get involved. Therefore, the last chapter provides hands-on experiments.
