ORGANIC electronics, plastic electronics or polymer electronics, is a branch of materials science dealing with electrically-conductive polymers and conductive small molecules. It is called 'organic' electronics because the polymers and small molecules are carbon-based. This contrasts with traditional electronics, which relies on inorganic conductors and semiconductors, such as copper and silicon, respectively. In addition to organic charge transfer complexes, examples include polyacetylene, polyaniline (PANI), and polythiophene.
