Titre: Development of ProDOT based conducting polymers as stretchable and flexible electronics
In recent years, research efforts have focused on developing sustainable electronics by diverging from conventionally used metals such as ITO for conductive layers. Efforts have also been dedicated to replacing glass substrates because of their limited mechanical properties. As such, new materials with improved mechanical properties such as stretchability and bendability are of interest. ITO must also be replaced as the conductive layer in electrodes because of its brittleness.
In this study, a self-doped conductive polymer (poly ProDOT-sulfate) was prepared, and incorporated in sustainable and elastomeric substrates. Both the conductivity and mechanical properties will be presented towards using the stretchable electrode in flexible electronic devices.
