Biomolecules and Pure Carbon Aggregates: An Application Towards “Green Electronics”

Abstract

Abstract"Green electronics" is a novel scientific term which aims to identify the compounds of natural origin (economically safe and biodegradable) and establish economically efficient route for production of synthetic materials. The purpose of green electronics is to create path for the production of human and environmental friendly electronics and the integration of electronics with living tissue in particular. These researches may help to fulfill not only the organic electronics to deliver low cost energy efficient materials and devices, but also achieve unimaginable functionalities for electronics. In this chapter we have considered the molecular electronic devices biomolecules: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and pure carbon aggregates: (carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/graphene), their properties and applications.
