Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Intrinsically Flexible and Stretchable PEDOT Polymers for Thermotherapy

25 octobre 2021 par Super Administrateur
For wearable applications such as electronic skin and biosensors, stretchable conductors are required. Owing to its high conductivity, good flexibility, low cost, and ease of processing, PEDOT appears as a promising candidate. However, destructive cracks come out above 10% strain in the case of PEDOT:PSS, the most common form of PEDOT. This article presents a different approach to obtain highly conductive and stretchable PEDOT materials based on doping with small counteranions.
