Material, Surface and Interface Engineering for Flexible Electronics and Sensors.

Zhenan Bao, Stanford Organic Electronic Materials and Devices Laboratory in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford

Organic semiconductor materials and carbon nanotubes are interesting alternatives to inorganic semiconductors in applications where low cost, flexible or transparent substrates, and large area format is required. Currently they have been incorporated into thin-film transistors, integrated display driver circuits, photovoltaics and radio frequency identification tags.

In this talk, Zhanan Bao will present recent results on surface and interface control for achieving efficient charge carrier transport, large area patterning of organic semiconductors and separation of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes. She will also discuss fabrication of water-stable transistors for chemical and biological detections.

Professor Zhenan Bao received her Ph.D. degree in chemistry from The University of Chicago in 1995 and joined the Materials Research Department of Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies. She became a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff in 2001. She joined the faculty of the Stanford Chemical Engineering Department in 2004. In addition to her more than 100 refereed publications, she has filed more than 50 US patent applications with more than 30 of them awarded. She served as a member of Executive Board of Directors for the Materials Research Society and Executive Committee Member and Program Committee for the Polymer Materials Science and Engineering Divisions of the American Chemical Society. She is on the international advisory board for the journal of Advanced Functional Materials (2001-2005), Chemistry of Materials (2006-now) and Materials Today (2002-now).
