DESCRIPTION:Angela Harper - Laser Printed Organic Electronics\n\nOrganic e
 lectronics are at the forefront of the industry for large-area\, low-cost 
 flexible electronic applications\, and provide an opportunity to incorpora
 te electronics in non-traditional areas such as clothing\, electronic pape
 r\, bio-integrated applications\, and more. While several organic semicond
 uctors have shown excellent electrical properties in single crystal form\,
  reproducing these characteristics using low-complexity manufacturing proc
 esses has proven challenging. To confront this challenge\, in this work we
  explored two alternative methods for device fabrication that offer low-co
 st processability\, compatibility with flexible substrates\, and yield goo
 d device performance. The first method uses a laser printer for electropho
 tographic deposition of the organic semiconductor layer.  The second metho
 d\, Graphite Aerosol Spray Lithography\, employs laser printing for contac
 t definition and uses a graphite aerosol to spray the electrodes. These me
 thods offer insight into environmentally friendly and cost-effective proce
 ssing for organic devices with an established technology such as the laser
  printer. \n\n\nChris Balzer - Metal-Organic Framework - Polymer Nanofiber
  Composites for Gas Separation\n\nPolymer membranes have shown potential f
 or widespread use in gas separation due to their low cost and ease of proc
 essing. However\, the trade off between selectivity and permeability in a 
 pure polymer membrane reduces their economic viability. Inclusion of adsor
 bent materials\, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)\, into the polyme
 r matrix has been shown to improve membrane performance. New challenges ar
 ise in creating MOF/polymer composites\, namely particle dispersion within
  the matrix. Polymer/MOF composite fibers can solve some of these challeng
 es and can be a platform to branch out beyond gas separation.
