FLEXIBLE ELECTRONICS

Stretching out transistors

Nature Materials volume 21, pages 495–497 (2022)Cite this article

Subjects

Bioelectronics demand stretchable devices with steady performance under deformation. By combining an amphiphilic organic semiconducting polymer with tailored film processing, highly stretchable organic electrochemical transistors are demonstrated.
