Organic Metals are insoluble and unmoldable. So, the only way to process it is by dispersion technique.
In the late 1970s Dr. Bernhard Wessling (CEO of Ormecon) created concepts for processing and application which should be noticed as an remarkable breakthrough.
Based on these concepts Ormecon developed a wide range of pure dispersions which do not contain any film forming resin systems or other insulating polymer matrices.
ORMECONTMD dispersions basically consist of the Organic Metal in colloidal form (between 10 and around 100 nm particle size, depending on the dispersion medium) and the dispersion medium, either water or organic solvents.
ORMECONTMD are available in practically all kinds of solvents as dispersion media, from water over polar solvents up to unpolar solvents and even mineral oil. The conductivity can be tuned between 10-6 S/cm up to 102 S/cm (not for all media the whole range).
The main application area for these materials is ITO replacement. First results show even better results than compared to ITO (front electrode for electroluminescence).
The Institute of Applied Photophysics, Tehcnical University Dresden, Dr. Fehse / Prof Karl Leo investigated Ormecon's D 1033 W as a replacement of ITO in OLEDs. >> PDF
