Organic electronic devices, such as conducting polymer and/or perovskite based solar cells are highly promising and emerging, but they are highly unstable in the presence of moisture and oxygen. It is important to protect these devices from these deterrent gases by using a suitable encapsulant and to improve the lifetime of these promising devices. ?Silicone polymer? impregnated with suitable functionalized nano fillers/moisture or oxygen scavengers can be potentially used for sensitive organic device encapsulation applications, where a combined property of flexibility, thermal stability, transparency, and low moisture permeation is critical. Suitable fillers can also enhance the thermomechanical properties of silicone polymers, which is also important for hermitic sealing applications. Silicone polymer have a wide range of applications in electronic, mechanical, and biological industrie.. View More»
