A dispersant is a substance that reduces the interfacial tension between two phases, such as solid and liquid, and prevents the aggregation or coagulation of the dispersed phase. Dispersants are widely used in various industries, such as paints, coatings, inks, ceramics, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, etc.
Electronic materials are the materials used in electrical industries, electronics and microelectronics, and the substances for the building up of integrated circuits, circuit boards, packaging materials, communication cables, optical fibers, displays, and various controlling and monitoring devices.
Electronic materials have specific properties or functionalities that are attributable to the flow, control, manipulation and exploitation of electrons, and their interactions with atoms and molecules.
Dispersants play an important role in the preparation and processing of electronic materials. For example:
Dispersants can improve the stability and homogeneity of colloidal suspensions of nanoparticles, such as quantum dots, metal oxides, carbon nanotubes, graphene, etc. These nanoparticles have potential applications in optoelectronics, photovoltaics, sensors, catalysis, etc.
Dispersants can also affect the optical, electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of the nanoparticles by modifying their surface chemistry and interparticle interactions.
Dispersants can enhance the solubility and processability of organic semiconductors, such as conjugated polymers and small molecules. These organic semiconductors are promising candidates for flexible and low-cost electronic devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), organic solar cells (OSCs), etc.
Dispersants can also influence the molecular packing, crystallinity, charge transport and device performance of the organic semiconductors by altering their molecular conformation and aggregation.
Dispersants can facilitate the fabrication and integration of hybrid electronic materials that combine organic and inorganic components. These hybrid electronic materials can offer synergistic advantages of both components, such as tunable band gap, high carrier mobility, mechanical flexibility, etc.
Dispersants can help to improve the compatibility and interfacial properties of the hybrid electronic materials by providing functional groups or spacers that can interact with both components.
