The present teachings relate to novel polymeric materials for electrode treatment. The present polymeric electrode modifiers can be derived from an episulfide monomer via either an acid-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization reaction or a nucleophilic polymerization reaction.

Polymeric electrode modifiers

The present teachings relate to curable linear polymers that can be used as active and/or passive organic materials in various electronic, optical, and optoelectronic devices. In some embodiments, the device can include an organic semiconductor layer and a dielectric layer prepared from such curable linear polymers. In some embodiments, the device can include a passivation layer prepared from the linear polymers described herein. The present linear polymers can be solution-processed, then cured thermally (particularly, at relatively low temperatures) and/or photochemically into various thin film materials with desirable properties.

Curable polymeric materials and their use for fabricating electronic devices

Described herein is a solution-processable composition for preparing a photopatternable material. The solution-processable composition generally includes (a) an oligomeric siloxane component that includes, based on its total weight, between about 40% by weight and about 100% by weight one or more cage-structured polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes that are functionalized with one or more crosslinkable moieties such as cycloaliphatic epoxy moieties, (b) a polymerization initiator; (c) one or more thermosettable polymers that collectively are present in an amount between about 1% by weight and about 20% by weight based on the total weight of the oligomeric siloxane component; and (d) a solvent.
