研究目的
To understand the molecular and microstructural determinants of the mechanical properties of conjugated polymers and to explore their applications in stretchable and wearable electronics.
研究成果
The research demonstrated that conjugated polymers can be engineered to achieve both high optoelectronic performance and mechanical robustness. Key findings included the significant impact of side chain length and branching on mechanical properties and the potential of donor?acceptor polymers for stretchable electronics. The study provided a foundation for future advances in the field, though challenges remain in achieving materials with high elastic range and repeated deformation capabilities.
研究不足
The study faced challenges in handling freestanding thin films and in measuring the glass transition temperature of conjugated polymers due to their complex structures. Additionally, the elastic range of most stretchable organic semiconductors was limited to ≤10%, and the rheological behavior of high-performance organic semiconductors remained unexplored.
