Deformable Electronics: Conducting Polymer Dough for Deformable Electronics (Adv. Mater. 22/2016)

Deformable devices with integrated functional nanomaterials for wearable electronics

As the market and related industry for wearable electronics dramatically expands, there are continuous and strong demands for flexible and stretchable devices to be seamlessly integrated with soft and curvilinear human skin or clothes. However, the mechanical mismatch between the rigid conventional electronics and the soft human body causes many problems. Therefore, various prospective nanomate...

Conducting Polymers: An Organic Mixed Ion–Electron Conductor for Power Electronics (Adv. Sci. 2/2016)

Materials and Wireless Microfluidic Systems for Electronics Capable of Chemical Dissolution on Demand (Adv. Funct. Mater. 92015)

Organic and polymer transistors for electronics

investigated for a number of low-cost, large-area applications, particularly those that are compatible with flexible plastic circuits1-12. The organic materials that have been used as active semiconductor materials include both sublimed and solutionprocessed semiconductors such as pentacene6,7,13-24, oligothiophenes21,22,25-32, hexadecafluorocopper phthalocyanine28-33, polythiophene8,32,34-39, ...

Metastable polymer substrate for transient electronics

Transient electronics are designed to operate for programmed life times and then degrade leaving little to no trace behind. The initial work on transient electronics has been focused on biomedical applications in which the electronics are implanted, but eventually degrade and resorb into the body after the treatment is complete [1]. Biomedical transient electronics typically use a water soluble...
