Gasgoo News To develop stretchable health monitoring sensor sheets with skin-like softness, materials are required to meet a number of stringent requirements at the same time: flexibility, biocompatibility, and conductivity. According to foreign media reports, a research team at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research is working to solve this complex topic. In a recent study published in the journal Advanced Science, scientists have proposed an innovative solution: the conductive polymer PEDOT:PSS is modified by using plasticizers diffused from the substrate to the polymer film through the transfer process, which significantly improves the conductivity and tensile properties of the material.
