Stretchable Organic Transistors for Wearable Electronics and Robotics

该项目旨在通过开发具有可拉伸性的新型半导体聚合物并将其集成到新型可拉伸有机晶体管配置中，来解决制造可拉伸有机晶体管用于可穿戴电子产品和机器人的挑战。该项目将采用分子工程方法来应对这一挑战的复杂需求，方法是将适当的化学功能与明智放置的柔性间隔物和侧链相结合，提供高电荷载流子迁移率，以提供机械灵活性。这些新型聚合物将被集成到晶体管结构中，并且它们在可拉伸衬底上沉积的制造阵列将用于真实的世界应用。

The project aims to address the challenges of fabricating stretchable organic transistors for applications in wearable electronics and robotics through the development of new semiconducting polymers with stretchability and integrating them into novel, stretchable organic transistor configurations. The project will take a molecular engineering approach to the complex needs of this challenge by combining appropriate chemical functionality which provides high charge carrier mobility with judiciously placed flexible spacers and side chains to provide mechanical dexterity. These novel polymers will be integrated into transistor structures and their fabricated arrays deposited on stretchable substrates will be used for a real world applications.
