Abstract :
We report the simultaneous characterization of mechanical and electrical performances of ultraflexible and stretchable organic integrated circuits comprised of high-performance organic semiconductors, carbon nanotube-based elastic conductors, and self-assembled monolayers. By employing a high-precision mechanical stage that combines electrical functional terminals, the electrical performances of ultraflexible or stretchable organic transistors were measured after being bent to a 50 μm bending radius or being stretched to 80% uniaxial stretching.
