 INTRODUCTION

With the invention of transistors in early half of the nineteenth century,

the field of electronicsinnumerable changes and tremendous impact
on the life of the common man. Be it education, entertainment or
healthcare, there is possibly no field where electronics has not made an
impact.
The entire concept of electronics is based on study of materials called
semi-conductors.
Silicon is one such material widely used manufacture of electronic
circuits.
However the use of silicon has various disadvantagesled researchers
and scientists all over the world look for other alternatives.
For long, it was believed plastics were materials with poor
conductivity.
Researchers proved that when plastics are combined with other
substances in proper chemical compositions they can behave as good
conductors of electricity.
 WHAT IS POLYTRONICS ?

Polymer electronics
Influence of plastic in electronics

All-new field in which plastics or conjugated polymers are

exclusively used in the manufacture of electronic products.

Emerging technology focuses development of electronic devices

incorporating ..electrically conductive and semi conductive organic
materials, especially organic polymers.

Offers the prospect advanced electronics platform using new materials,

processes & electronic devices.
 Why How
NEED OF POLYTRONICS
When

The widespread use of silicon in electronic goods has large number of

disadvantages some are,
Production of silicon embedded circuits involves a huge investment.
These circuits also consume more power.
Moreover since silicon chips are not flexible, the products, which..use,
are not easily portable.

By using Polytronics these limitations can overcome.

Polytronic devicesmanufactured at a fraction of the cost involved in

making conventional chips.
Also Polytronics seems to be the best answer to the growing menace of
electronic wastes.
 WHAT IS A POLYMER

(poly- many) + (mer- parts)

Large molecule/macromolecule, composedmany repeated subunits.

Becausebroad range of properties both synthetic & natural polymers

play an essential and ubiquitous role in everyday life.

Formed becausedouble and triple bonds between monomer to form a

rigid structure and unique chemical & physical characteristics.

Organic polymerschains of carbon atoms combined with hydrogen

atoms.

It is a conjugated chain comprisealternating single and double bonds

between the carbon atoms.
 WHAT MAKES POLYMER SUTABLE

Good insulator of heat

Can form any shape

They have low density

They require low finishing cost

Their toughness and ductility is good

Enhanced flexibility allowed for many application.

Solubility in organic solvents, variable processibility.

 HOW DOES A POLYMER CONDUCT?
Working

By simply obeying ohms law.

Ohms law define conductivity in polymers & ceramics as Free flow of ions/e-s.
APPLICATIONS
 EXAMPLES-

ORGANIC SOLAR CELL OLED

ADVANTAGES
CONCLUSION

With efficient use and reuseelectronic waste.

Products are builtsub stream of the society, to build a better society

in which each and every individual has access to the features that it has
to offer.

In shortfield that offers tremendous opportunities for young and

budding engineers, field that is going to revolutionize the way in which
we live.

I would again like to emphasize the fact that Polytronics is the next
BIG THING.
