Asphaltene components as organic electronic materials

摘要

Asphaltene components are useful as organic electronic materials, especially in the form of thin films, in organic electronic devices, such as optoelectronic devices, for example, photodiodes (e.g., photovoltaic cells), phototransistors, photomultipliers, integrated optical circuits, photoresistors, and the like.

主权项

1. An organic electronic material comprising an asphaltene component, wherein the asphaltene component consists essentially of an aggregate of aryl components linked by alkyl chains and further, wherein the asphaltene component consists essentially of an elastic component of asphaltene isolated from an asphaltene by gel permeation chromatography.
