Read this Themed Issue featuring the most recent and influential work from world leading researchers working in organic semiconductors, recently published in Journal of Materials Chemistry C in tribute to the fifty-year research career of Professor Fred Wudl.

Professor Fred Wudl is one of the pioneers in organic semiconductors with a lasting influence on the field of organic electronics. This issue honours his contribution to the field of organic semiconductors, and is focused on the people who have worked with him over the course of his career.

In the words of the guest editors of this themed issue, “In compiling this issue, we have received a hugely enthusiastic response from the community of researchers whose work was influenced, one way or the other, by Professor Fred Wudl. This is the best evidence for his pioneering role in the field of organic electronics. We hope you will enjoy reading through these contributions and reflect with us on the remarkable role of thought leaders, like Fred, on the shape of the current science.”1

Guest edited by Qichun Zhang (Nanyang Technological University), Dmitrii Perepichka (McGill University) and Zhenan Bao (Stanford University), this Themed Issue of Journal of Materials Chemistry C celebrates fifty years of Professor Fred Wudl’s contributions to the field of organic semiconductors.
