Abstract

Invited for this month's cover is the group of Dr. Paola Manini from the University of Naples Federico II. The cover picture shows the concept underlying the design of a melanin-inspired electroluminescent material for OLED devices. This article is part of a well-structured research project aimed at imitating Nature's most enigmatic and fascinating functional pigments for the design and synthesis of innovative biomaterials for organic electronics applications.
