During the last years, the conductive polymers technology has lived a great development, driving to different industries to include them inside their products and processes. Two of the industries where they had more effect are photovoltaics and printed electronics. Two of their characteristics are the most important in this case, their transparency and the possibility of regulating their conductivity, which allows them to be adapted for the great majority of applications. The industry standard for transparent printable conductive polymers is PEDOT: PSS, a versatile material that can be used in a variety of applications, from hole transport material in the photovoltaic industry to as a flexible electrode in printed electronics. Despite its advantages, it also has its counterparts, such as its aqueous and acid nature, the need for additives, the need for treatment after application, the high costs of application or the problems of handling it. All this makes it a hard and expensive to apply material that also needs continuous maintenance, making its adoption by the market very low, so silver or silicon, less efficient and adaptable materials, continue to dominate the market.
The proposed solution to these problems is OHMIO, a conductive and transparent polymer whose main characteristic is that it can be easily applied, allowing thin layers to be created on any surface without the need for subsequent treatment. In addition, due to its different formulation it offers better characteristics than the materials present in the market, with less maintenance, more transparency or greater ease of handling.
