DESCRIPTION:Angela Harper - Laser Printed Organic Electronics\
 n\nOrganic electronics are at the forefront of the
  industry for large-area\, low-cost flexible elect
 ronic applications\, and provide an opportunity to
  incorporate electronics in non-traditional areas 
 such as clothing\, electronic paper\, bio-integrat
 ed applications\, and more. While several organic 
 semiconductors have shown excellent electrical pro
 perties in single crystal form\, reproducing these
  characteristics using low-complexity manufacturin
 g processes has proven challenging. To confront th
 is challenge\, in this work we explored two altern
 ative methods for device fabrication that offer lo
 w-cost processability\, compatibility with flexibl
 e substrates\, and yield good device performance. 
 The first method uses a laser printer for electrop
 hotographic deposition of the organic semiconducto
 r layer.  The second method\, Graphite Aerosol Spr
 ay Lithography\, employs laser printing for contac
 t definition and uses a graphite aerosol to spray 
 the electrodes. These methods offer insight into e
 nvironmentally friendly and cost-effective process
 ing for organic devices with an established techno
 logy such as the laser printer. \n\n\nChris Balzer
  - Metal-Organic Framework - Polymer Nanofiber Com
 posites for Gas Separation\n\nPolymer membranes ha
 ve shown potential for widespread use in gas separ
 ation due to their low cost and ease of processing
 . However\, the trade off between selectivity and 
 permeability in a pure polymer membrane reduces th
 eir economic viability. Inclusion of adsorbent mat
 erials\, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)\,
  into the polymer matrix has been shown to improve
  membrane performance. New challenges arise in cre
 ating MOF/polymer composites\, namely particle dis
 persion within the matrix. Polymer/MOF composite f
 ibers can solve some of these challenges and can b
 e a platform to branch out beyond gas separation.
