Abstract :
We report on the use of inkjet, extrusion, and capillary printing of poly(3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(sodium 4-styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) to create structures that could be used in a flexible, implantable bionic device. Resistance values as low as 250 kΩ are demonstrated, with little deviation under as much as 1.5% strain. The results show PEDOT/PSS can be a suitable material for printed bionic devices.
