  • FLEXIBLE ORGANIC ELECTROCHEMICAL TRANSISTORS AS BENDING SENSORS
    Publication number: 20230389433
    Abstract: Organic Electrochemical Transistors (OECTs) have the potential to enable fully flexible low-cost electronics. Combining OECTs with ionic electroactive polymers (IEAP) yields a highly sensitive bending sensors with respect to mechanical bending. In comparison the proposed sensor has a sensitivity that is several orders of magnitude larger than conventional electroactive polymers.

  • Macrocycle Embedded Organic Electronic Materials, Composites, and Compositions for Chemical Sensing
    Publication number: 20220326175
    Abstract: A semiconductor sensor device for detecting an analyte including a semiconducting layer, one or more organic molecules in the semiconducting layer, and one or more receptor molecules, comprising a poly-cyanostilbene macrocycle, wherein the one or more receptors is embedded within or onto the semiconducting layer of the semiconductor sensor device. Also disclosed is a method of preparing the semiconductor sensor device including a step of coupling the one or more receptor molecules into or onto the semiconducting layer of the semiconductor sensor device, a dielectric surface, or an electrode surface. Also described is chemical sensing device including the semiconductor sensor device and other elements of a sensing device.
