Stretchable, degradable semiconductors

Science Daily  November 13, 2019
Researchers at Stanford University decoupled the design of stretchability and transience by harmonizing polymer physics principles and molecular design to develop a material that simultaneously possesses three disparate attributes: semiconductivity, intrinsic stretchability, and full degradability. They have shown that the semiconducting nanofibers concurrently enable controlled transience and strain-independent transistor mobilities. They anticipate that these materials could be used to build fully biodegradable diagnostic or therapeutic devices, environmental monitors, and advance developing multifunctional materials for skin-inspired electronic devices…read more.
