Stretchable elastic synaptic transistors for neurologically integrated soft engineering systems

Abstract: Artificial synaptic devices that can be stretched similar to those appearing in soft-bodied animals, such as earthworms, could be seamlessly integrated onto soft machines toward enabled neurological functions. Here, we report a stretchable synaptic transistor fully based on elastomeric electronic materials, which exhibits a full set of synaptic characteristics. These characteristics retained even the rubbery synapse that is stretched by 50%. By implementing stretchable synaptic transistor with mechanoreceptor … Show more

“…Consequently, the prepared devices are suitable for light recording, image identification, and synaptic device applications. [17,20,[30][31][32] However, organic-based photonic memory devices have been the subject of limited research compared to photoconductors and photodiodes. [33] Previous investigations have successfully prepared memory layers using organic-inorganic hybrid composites, [20,34,35] polymer nanoparticles [22] or small molecules [31,36,37] dispersed in an insulating polymer host, and direct casting of photoactive polymer electret.…”

“…Organic materials have emerged as potential candidates for use in flexible or stretchable electronic device applications, [1] such as field-effect transistors (FETs), [2][3][4][5] light-harvesting devices, [6][7][8][9] light-emitting electronics, [10][11][12][13] and memories. [14][15][16][17] This is due to their superior simple processability, thin-film flexibility, and tunable electrical properties. The memory devices have a similar structure to FETs, and therefore they possess several benefits including a nondestructive readout, high on/off their self-assembled microstructure and manipulation of the optoelectronic properties, which could be superior to polymer blends or composites for structure and property control.…”

“…[9] To better suit the skin, soft electronics offer an alternative route for conformal interfacing and comfortable wearing on the soft, curvilinear, and dynamic human body. Soft skinmountable electronics have been proven to be effective for various applications including medical implants, [10,11] health monitors, [12,13] artificial skin, [14,15] human-machine interfaces (HMIs), [16,17] and wearable internet-of-things (IoT) [18,19] due to their superior mechanical properties. Here, soft electronics comprise the characteristics of both flexibility and stretchability.…”
