Although organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) made from organic semiconductors are valued for their transparency, flexibility and low cost attributes, their sluggish response time due to slow carrier mobility limits their applications.
Stanford inventors have developed a molecular design concept that allows for the development of stretchable electronics with desirable elasticity, solvent resistance, and photopatternability using covalently-embedded in-situ rubber matrix formation (iRUM).
Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's laboratory have developed an intrinsically stretchable and healable semiconductor polymer to fabricate high performance organic field-effect transistors for flexible and wearable electronic devices.
The Zhenan Bao Research Group at Stanford University developed and manufactured a photo-curable, directly patternable, stretchable, and highly conductive polymer that is ideal for bioelectronic applications, and stretchable electronic devices.
Stanford researchers have developed a versatile molecular engineering approach, via random copolymerization, to gain good processability while maintaining high charge transport and photovoltaic performance for conjugated copolymers.
Stanford researchers have developed an elastomer polymer dielectric for high performance transistors with both high gain and high transconductance, which also shows unprecedented high bias-stress stability in air and water.
Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's lab at Stanford have developed a series of imidazole derivatives for solution processed, n-type doped organic electronic devices.
Stanford researchers have developed a simple and effective method to sort semiconducting from metallic single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). This scalable technique uses semiconducting polymers to wrap around individual semiconducting SWNTs dispersed in a solution.
Stanford researchers successfully purified highly enriched semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) free of any dispersing agent via an easy, fast and scalable method.
Stanford University and Samsung researchers have patented a microfluidic-based platform that can rapidly fabricate and characterize Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) arrays composed of solution-processable organic semiconducting polymers.
