Stretchable OECTs for biosensing applications

The low elastic modulus of polymers matches that of soft biological tissues and draws increasing interest towards soft and stretchable on-skin and health-monitoring devices. For biosensing applications organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) attract vast interest due to their low-voltage operation and mixed electronic and ionic conduction. I will summarize our efforts on biosensors based on planar OECTs for protein and cytokine detection as well as our work on stretchable electronic materials and devices including intrinsically stretchable OECTS.
