Modecom (Modelling Electroactive Conjugated Materials at the Multiscale)is a 1.3M Euro three-year project undertaken by an international consortium of researchers covering 3 continents which could help bring to mass market OLED lighting.
This research will also aid the understanding of solar cells. Solar cells, or photovoltaics, convert light to electricity and are used to power many devices, from calculators to satellites.
Other areas being studied by Modecom are the polymer materials used in plastic electronics and sensors in applications such as electronic paper and intelligent labels on groceries.
Modecom is funded by the European Union Framework 6.
