“…They have attracted especially high interest in recent years due to the significant developments in the synthetic approaches and desired applications [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Taking into account the favorable processability of conductive polymers, possibility of tailoring their structures and functions at the molecular scale, low production costs, and reasonable stability, π-conjugated polymers may find applications in next-generation electronic devices [ 5 ], such as photovoltaic organic solar cells [ 6 ], bioelectronics [ 7 ], energy storage devices [ 8 ], energy conversion systems [ 9 ], and electrochemical transistors [ 10 ].…”

The high stability and conductivity of 3,4-disubstituted polythiophenes such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) make them attractive candidates for commercial applications. However, next-generation nanoelectronic devices require novel macromolecular strategies for the precise synthesis of advanced polymer structures as well as their arrangement. In this report, we present a synthetic route to make ladder-like polymer brushes with poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) (PProDOT)-conjugated chains. The brushes were prepared via a self-templating surface-initiated technique (ST-SIP) that combines the surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) of bifunctional ProDOT-based monomers and subsequent oxidative polymerization of the pendant ProDOT groups in the parent brushes. The brushes prepared in this way were characterized by grazing-angle FTIR, XPS spectroscopy, and AFM. Steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements were used to extract the information about the structure and effective conjugation length of PProDOT-based chains. Stability tests performed in ambient conditions and under exposure to standardized solar light revealed the remarkable stability of the obtained materials.

“…Conductive polymers continue to be an active research topic for biomaterials and have demonstrated record tensile strains (>100%), low moduli (kPa-MPa), and conductivity (10 1 -10 4 S m -1 ), [578][579][580][581][582] among other tunable charac teristics such as anisotropy, [583] adhesiveness, [156,[584][585][586] and bio degradability. [587] A wide range of polymers are being explored as stretchable semiconductors, optimizing for charge car rier mobility, [587][588][589] device density, [590] ionic transport, [591] and neuromorphic computing.…”

Designing bioelectronic devices that seamlessly integrate with the human body is a technological pursuit of great importance. Bioelectronic medical devices that reliably and chronically interface with the body can advance neuroscience, health monitoring, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Recent major efforts focus on investigating strategies to fabricate flexible, stretchable, and soft electronic devices, and advances in materials chemistry have emerged as fundamental to the creation of the next generation of bioelectronics. This review summarizes contemporary advances and forthcoming technical challenges related to three principal components of bioelectronic devices: i) substrates and structural materials, ii) barrier and encapsulation materials, and iii) conductive materials. Through notable illustrations from the literature, integration and device fabrication strategies and associated challenges for each material class are highlighted.

“…15 Second, it further solidifies the position of organic electronics as less toxic, more environmentally friendly, and more sustainable than their inorganic counterparts. [16][17][18] Furthermore, DArP appeals for its atom economy, effectiveness (providing targets in fewer synthetic steps), generation of more benign byproducts, and decrease of the overall cost for the preparation of conjugated polymers.…”
