Semi-conducteur organique
vignette|Molécules de quinacridone (semi-conducteur organique) adsorbées sur une surface de graphite. Un semi-conducteur organique est un composé organique, sous la forme d'un cristal ou d'un polymère, qui montre des propriétés similaires aux semi-conducteurs inorganiques. Ses propriétés sont la conduction par les électrons et les trous, ainsi que la présence d'une bande interdite. Ces matériaux ont donné naissance à l'électronique organique, ou électronique des plastiques.
Chimie macromoléculaire
Polymer chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that focuses on the structures of chemicals, chemical synthesis, and chemical and physical properties of polymers and macromolecules. The principles and methods used within polymer chemistry are also applicable through a wide range of other chemistry sub-disciplines like organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and physical chemistry. Many materials have polymeric structures, from fully inorganic metals and ceramics to DNA and other biological molecules.
Medical grade silicone
Medical grade silicones are silicones tested for biocompatibility and are appropriate to be used for medical applications. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) regulates devices implanted into the body. It does not regulate materials other than certain dental materials. The FDA regulate silicones used in food contact under the auspices of the Center for Food Safety and Nutrition (CFSAN) and for use in pharmaceuticals under the auspices of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER).
