Abstract
Recent developments in the field of flexible electronics motivated the researchers to start working in verdict of new flexible substrate for replacing the existing rigid glass and flexible plastics. Flexible substrates offer significant rewards in terms of being able to fabricate flexible electronic devices that are robust, thinner, conformable, lighter and can be rolled away when needed. In this work, a new flexible and transparent substrate with the help of organic materials such as Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and tetra ethoxy orthosilicate (TEOS) is synthesized. Transmittance of about 90–95% is acquired in the visible region (400–700[Formula: see text]nm) and the synthesized substrate shows better thermal characteristics and withstands temperature up to 200[Formula: see text]C without any significant degradation. Characteristics such as transmittance ([Formula: see text]), absorption ([Formula: see text]), reflectance ([Formula: see text]), refractive index ([Formula: see text]) and extinction coefficient ([Formula: see text]) are also reported.
