Subscribe for FREE Ever since, it’s been believed that if you want to make a polymer network material stiff, you have to sacrifice some stretchability. That is, until Cai’s team, led by Ph.D. student ...

In the paper “Intrinsically stretchable organic photovoltaics by redistributing strain to PEDOT:PSS with enhanced stretchability and interfacial adhesion,” published in nature communications ...

"We're focusing on making very thin, flexible devices. But such devices don't have intrinsic stretchability," explains ...

This could transform the wearable technology landscape, enabling durable, flexible energy solutions for smart textiles and medical devices.

These "foldable bottlebrush polymer networks" could pave the way for materials that are both robust and highly flexible.

Researchers' new polymer strategy shifts a centuries-old engineering paradigm with a molecular design that doesn't sacrifice ...
