Grant: Canada Research Chairs
École Polytechnique de Montréal
$200,000.00
Sustainable Organic Electronics: Materials, Processes and Devices
FY 2024-25
Summary
Consumer electronics has broadened access to education and information and contributed
to improve our quality of life. Unfortunately, the pervasive expansion of electronics
is generating an unsustainable growth of waste electrical and electronic equipment
that contains toxic substances imposing great pressure on the environment and causing
major health concerns. To alleviate the environmental footprint of electronics and to
extend their capabilities in emerging areas focusing on low human- and eco-toxicity,
the proposed CRC will design & develop devices based on benign organic electronic
materials, with expected important outcomes in the Manufacturing, Information &
Telecommunication Technology, Green Technology and Biomedical sectors.
