Nanoarchitectonics of Stretchable Organic Electronics Materials

Abstract

With the rapid development of smart electronics, intrinsically stretchable organic electronic materials with excellent electrical properties have exhibited huge application potential in wearable electronics and artificial intelligent fields. Mechanical stretchability and electrical property often tend to interfere with each other, which impedes the development and usage of stretchable organic electronic materials. To meet various practical applications, it is quite vital for intrinsically stretchable organic electronic materials to obtain synergistic mechanical and electrical properties through reasonable materials design and structure optimization. In this chapter, we systematically analyse and summarize the recent research progress of intrinsically stretchable organic conducting materials, including representative organic conducting materials, structure design and performance optimization, practical and potential application. Finally, the future development directions, possible challenges and opportunities of intrinsically stretchable organic conducting materials are discussed and proposed.
