Study of Electric Properties of Electrochemical Transistors with Ionic Liquids
Blahut, Jan ; Pospíšil, Jan (referee) ; Zmeškal, Oldřich (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis is focused on preparation of organic electrochemical transistors and following characterization of electric properties of these systems. Two types of electrode systems were used for preparation – glass substrates with steamed oxide of indium and tin and polylactic acid substrates with admixture of carbon soot. Three methods were tested for creation of PEDOT channel. Materiál printing, spin-coating and manual application. The measurement shows, that voltage applied to gate electrode has no effect switching of transistor. Size and polarity of current between source and drain electrodes has a major influence here.

Optimalization of printing methods of organic semiconducting layers preparation
Ehlich, Jiří ; Vala, Martin (referee) ; Salyk, Ota (advisor)
Electrophysiological biosensors enables a novel way to measure electrical activity of biological structures both in-vitro and in-vivo and represents valuable alternative to current cellular activity measuring methods. Within this work we will be focusing on development of organic semiconductor (PEDOT:PSS) based Organic Electrochemical Transistors (OECTs) and optimization of material printing methods used in their development. These transistors are meant to be able to transfer electrochemical signals within the cell membrane to electrical signal. Such sensors should be used for cytotoxicity testing of chemicals and potential drugs on cardiomyocytes. Main benefits of OECTs are in their higher sensitivity thanks to their ability to locally amplify electric signals, better noise-signal ratio and outstanding biocompatibility. Their development is undemanding and inexpensive due material printing methods and materials processable at room temperatures.

Organic electronics for biosensors
Netočný, Martin ; Vala, Martin (referee) ; Salyk, Ota (advisor)
In the first part are discussed the organic thin-film transistors and their possible use for chemical and biological sensors. Middle section discusses the electrical properties of OECT device in steady-state and transient behaviour and potential use of OECT for cell monitoring. The final experimental part deals with influence of temperature, aging, electrolyte environment and geometry on the function of OECT device.

New organic semiconductors for bioelectronics
Malečková, Romana ; Salyk, Ota (referee) ; Vala, Martin (advisor)
This thesis focuses on the characterization of PEDOT:DBSA, a new semiconducting polymer for use in bioelectronic devices. It also deals with possibilities of surface treatment in order to enhance its biocompatibility and stability in aqueous environments. For this purpose, the organic polymer films were crosslinked with two crosslinking agents – GOPS and DVS. The ability of these agents to prevent leaching of some fractions of the polymer films in an aqueous environment and the ability to bind polymer molecules to each other as well as to the glass substrate was studied using the delamination test. Subsequently, the effects of these crosslinking agents on the film properties essential for the proper functions of bioelectronics made of these materials, was studied by contact angle measurements and four-point probes respectively. Moreover, several OECTs were prepared using original and crosslinked material as an active layer and were characterized by measuring transconductance and volumetric capacitance. PEDOT:DBSA has been shown to be a suitable material for use in bioelectronics, but its thin layers need to be stabilized in an aqueous environment. The agent DVS appears to be unsuitable for this purpose, mainly due to its insufficient film stabilization and its increased hydrophilicity of the film surface, thus increased tendency to interact with water, resulting in degradation of these thin layers. In contrast, GOPS, despite some reduction in film conductivity, has been able to stabilize the polymer layer over the long term, and thus appears to be a suitable way to stabilize PEDOT:DBSA.

Organic materials for organic field-effect transistors and electrochemical transistors
Stříteský, Stanislav ; Weis,, Martin (referee) ; Boušek, Jaroslav (referee) ; Weiter, Martin (advisor)
Tato práce je zaměřena na studium vlastností organických polovodivých materiálů se zaměřením na jejich vodivost a pohyblivost nosičů náboje. Hlavním cílem této práce je objasnit vztah mezi chemickou strukturou organických polovodičů a jejich vlastnostmi. Teoretická část práce je zaměřena na základy organických polovodičů, transport náboje a přehled vlastností organických polovodivých materiálů, které vedly k jejich aplikaci v polních a elektrochemických tranzistorech. Experimentální část představuje přehled použitých materiálů, způsoby jejich přípravy a charakterizační metody. V rámci výsledkové části bylo vyvinuto nebo optimalizováno několik metod pro přípravu tenkých vrstev a následně byl studován jejich vliv na výkon organických polem řízených tranzistorů. Byly charakterizovány a diskutovány relevantní vlastnosti nových organických polovodivých materiálů se zaměřením na pohyblivost nosičů náboje. Byla charakterizována a diskutována biokompatibilita několika organických polovodičů. Elektrické vlastnosti, stabilita a biokompatibilita elektroaktivních polymerních inkoustů na bázi PEDOT:PSS byla charakterizována a diskutována s ohledem na jejich možné použití v bioelektronice. Nakonec byl zkonstruován organický bioelektronický senzor pro detekci fyziologické odpovědi kardiomyocytů na základě studovaných materiálů.

Electrical characterization of organic electrochemical transistors
Dundr, Jakub ; Prášek, Jan (referee) ; Gablech, Imrich (advisor)
This master’s thesis is focused on electrical characterisation of PEDOT:PSS based organic electrochemical transistors, it’s electrical parameters, physical properties and principles. This thesis further includes fields of usage of the OECT, mainly usage for bioelectronics. Last part of this thesis is focused on the measurement of the OECT electrical parameters including short introduction to the equipment for measurement. The outcome of this thesis is evaluation of PEDOT:PSS overlap on gold contacts in terms of observed electrical parameters.
