An acceptor (A) unit of benzodithiophene-4,8-dicarboxylate (BDTC) was combined with a donor (D) unit of thieno (3,4-d) thiazole (TTz) to synthesize a D-A type conjugated polymer, PBDTC-TTz. Bandgap of PBDTC-TTz was narrow, estimated to be 1.57 eV. The π-stacking distance observed by XRD was small value to be 3.55 Å. The energy level of the highest occupied molecular orbital was estimated to be ‒5.03 eV, which was deeper than that another D-A type copolymer composed of BDTC and thieno (3,4-b) thiophene, previously synthesized.

In this study, an all-organic, partially transient epidermal sensor with functional poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) conjugated polymer printed onto a water-soluble polyethylene oxide (PEO) substrate is studied and presented. The sensor’s electronic properties were studied under static stress, dynamic load, and transient status. Electrode resistance remained approximately unchanged for up to 2% strain, and increased gradually within 6.5% strain under static stress. The electronic properties’ dependence on dynamic load showed a fast response time in the range of 0.05–3 Hz, and a reversible stretching threshold of 3% strain. A transiency study showed that the PEO substrate dissolved completely in water, while the PEDOT:PSS conjugated polymer electrode remained intact. The substrate-less, intrinsically soft PEDOT:PSS electrode formed perfect contact on human skin and stayed attached by Van der Waals force, and was demonstrated as a tattoolike epidermal sensor.

ABSTRACTIn depositing a-Si:H by HWCVD using W filaments, one issue common to this technique is that of filament lifetime. When using undiluted silane as the source gas, a buildup of silicon at the colder ends of the filament is routinely observed (thickening), and it is here that filament breakage usually occurs. Less well understood is the effect of filament alloy formation on a-Si:H electronic properties. In this work we combine ambipolar diffusion length (SSPG) measurements on consecutively deposited a-Si:H films with SEM surface topography and sputter (SP) Auger depth profiling of the filament Si/(W+Si) composition to track film electronic properties as a function of the Si buildup on short filaments entirely exposed to the growing film surface. We find that with increasing exposure time of the filament to silane, appreciable Si exists everywhere along the filament length, even in the non-thickened central regions. We discuss the effect of this alloying on the film deposition rate and electronic properties, and suggest that the nature of the filament surface must be carefully considered when optimizing a- Si:H film electronic properties. Finally, we discuss possible ways to minimize this alloying by post deposition treatments, which include different filament ‘run’ temperatures.
