POLYMER ELECTRONICS AND BIOELECTRONICS LAB

Polymer Electronics is the newer among the research directions within the Soft Matter Division of the IESL. The research activities of the Polymer Electronics and Bioelectronics Laboratory focus on the development and the study of electrically active polymers, and their integration in electronic devices. The expertise of the team spans over conducting and semi-conducting polymers, organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors, as well as ferroelectric/piezoelectric polymers. Our skills integrate materials design and processing, physical characterizations (structural, electrical, optoelectronic, etc.), organic electronic device fabrication and performance characterizations. The core of our research lies on the establishment of the materials' processing-structure-function relationships, and their capitalization on the optimization of the performance of the respective devices. Target applications include:

Energy harvesting from clean and renewable sources:

  • Thermoelectrics
  • Photovoltaics
  • Piezoelectric nanogenerators

Bioelectronics:

  • Electronic plants
  • Stretchable electronics
  • Electronic skin
