415641 news 1434534688 1475896721 Recently, we were notified that the USDA Forest Service selected a research project for printed flexible elec-tronic displays. The unique aspect of the project is the use of nanocellulose films as the printed substrate. Principal investigator Dr Bernard Kippelen of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics, submitted the proposal entitled “Chemical Tailoring of Nanocellulose for Printed Optoelectronic Applications.” The program is aimed at developing materials and processes that will enable organic solar cells, organic field effect transistors, and organic light-emitting diodes to be fabricated on low-cost, lightweight, sustainable nanocellulose substrates. Dr Kippelen became interested in cellulose substrates after meeting industry members during the 2011 IPST executive conference.
