Abstract
The concept of Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) is applied to organic semiconductors in order to determine and predict their solubility behavior, which is essential for the design of functional and environmentally friendly ink formulations for organic photovoltaics. Two different conjugated polymers, one semicrystalline and one dominantly amorphous, and one fullerene derivative are selected as prototype candidates to evaluate the applicability of the HSP concept for organic semiconductors. The method for determining the solubility parameters is described and the quality of the HSP fits as well as their suitability for designing of organic electronic inks are discussed in detail.magnified image

Optical methods and their limitations are described that allow one to obtain the physical parameters of semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots) embedded in a glass matrix. The parameters determined are: average radius, confinement energy, band gap, number of atoms in an average-radius nanocrystal,
On the basis of the Snyder/Karger-Hansen interaction model, where delta EA = Vi(delta di delta dj + delta pi delta pi + delta hi delta nj), the partial solubility parameters of a solid used as the stationary phase may be determined through gas-solid chromatography by null-injection of solutes with k
The most widely accepted method for determining Hansen's three-dimensional solubility parameters (3DSP) for crosslinked polymers entails graphically estimating the center of a spherical region in SDSP-coordinate space whose boundaries are defined in terms of the extent of swelling by solvents whose
