Fürth, Germany (September 3, 09) – ‘The market for organic and printed electronics will grow to become a multi-billion market over the next ten years,’ says Wolfgang Mildner, Chairman of the Organic Electronics Association (OE-A) and Managing Director of PolyIC GmbH & Co.

These are suitable for processing in printing processes and thus facilitate mass production.
