rganic electronics based on semiconducting and conducting polymers have been extensively investigated in the past two
decades and have found commercial applications in lighting panels, smartphone and TV screens using OLEDs (organic light
emitting diodes) technology. Many other applications are foreseen to reach the commercial maturity in future in areas such as
transistors, sensors and photovoltaics. Organic electronic devices, apart from consumer applications are paving the path for
key applications at the interface between electronics and biology such as in polymer electrodes for recording and stimulating
neural activity in neurological diseases. In such applications, organic polymers are very attractive candidates due to their distinct
property of mixed conduction: the ability to transport both electron/holes and ionic species. Additionally, conducting polymers
offer the possibility to tune their surface properties (e.g., wettability or chemical reactivity) by changing their oxidation state, thus
promoting or hindering the adhesion of biomolecules. This feature can be particularly useful for enhancing the biocompatibility
of implantable electrodes. My talk will deal with processing and characterization of conducting polymer films and devices for
flexible, stretchable and healable electronics. I will particularly focus on micro-patterning of conducting polymer films for flexible
and stretchable devices and on healing of conducting polymer films.
