HOMERIC

The goal of HOMERIC was to encourage the use of carbonbased materials in the electronics industry. Self-assembly was used to supply products with multiple, amplified functions. The concept was applied to four challenges inherent in organic electronics:

• materials and treatment methodologies for lithographic applications below 22 nm, drawing on the directed selfassembly of block copolymers ;
• developing conductive organic printable inks for transparent electrodes as an alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) ;
• formulating electrophoretic colour inks used in reflective electronic displays ;
• developing multifunction organic materials combining the advantages of semiconducting and ferroelectric polymers to produce innovative electronic devices for sensors, actuators and energy-related problems.
