Dr. Chan and researchers highlight flexible transistors are the building blocks of next-generation soft electronics. Among all the reported material systems that can be fabricated by researchers, such as circuits, biosensors, stretchable displays, and others,1–5 small molecular weight organic semiconductors are among the most promising candidates for flexible transistor applications. For these small molecular weight organic semiconductors, the semiconductor forming the conductive channel dominates the device performance.

Professor Shinar (Iowa State University, USA) summarizes the developments of a variety of sensor configurations based on organic and hybrid electronics, as low-cost, disposable, non-invasive, wearable bioelectronics for healthcare.

Intrinsically stretchable active layers for organic field-effect transistors (OFET) are discussed. Polymer structural modification & post-polymerization modifications are 2 methods to achieve this.

Next generation solar cells have the potential to achieve conversion efficiencies beyond the Shockley-Queisser (S-Q) limit while also significantly lowering production costs.
