Abstract
This thesis explores green processable organic molecules towards semiconducting films in printed organic electronic devices. Herein, I present a study on the green processability and printability of an N-annulated PDI chromophore. Chapter one introduces key concepts in printed electronics and methods towards greener solubility of organic molecules. Chapter two introduces the N-annulated PDI chromophore and details the methods taken to solubilize PDI into green solvents and slot-die coat into films. Chapter three delves into applications of the N-annulated PDI films towards amine gas sensors. This thesis strives to highlight the innovation of printing PDI with scalable techniques and introduce further applications of these films.
