Title: | INTRINSICALLY CONDUCTING POLYMER AS STRETCHABLE CONDUCTORS FOR FLEXIBLE ELECTRONICS | Authors: | HE HAO | Keywords: | PEDOT:PSS, conducting polymer, stretchable conductor | Issue Date: | 2-Aug-2021 | Citation: | HE HAO (2021-08-02). INTRINSICALLY CONDUCTING POLYMER AS STRETCHABLE CONDUCTORS FOR FLEXIBLE ELECTRONICS. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Building connections between devices and objects with complex shapes in our daily life requires the next-generation electronics to be flexible, or even stretchable. Stretchable conductors are indispensable constituents to achieve high-performance electronic systems under mechanical deformation. Though inorganic conductive materials can be designed into superb stretchable conductors, manufacturing is generally complicated and costly. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), an intrinsically conducting polymer, is well known for its various merits such as high transparency, aqueous processability, low cost and biocompatibility. However, pristine PEDOT:PSS is not suitable as stretchable conductors because of its low conductivity and brittleness. In this thesis, we introduce novel strategies to fabricate stretchable PEDOT:PSS conductors with desired characteristics. The enhancement mechanisms are thoroughly studied. The research work provides some guidance about creating conductive and stretchable PEDOT:PSS with required features. | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/213636 |
