From Organic Electronics to Bio-organic Electronics

In order to account for a sustainable future technology, theapplication of biodegradable and biocompatible systems for organic opto electronics are needed. The use of cheap electronic devices in a large scale will introduce a "consumable electronics" into the market of "consumer electronics". Therefore environmentally friendly materials are important to use. This is a next great challenge to material science in organic electronics. New developments of bio-inspired and/or bio-origin, bio-compatible materials are reported. Such materials can also be used to interface the biological and biomedical research with the bioorganic electronics field.
