Role of Elastomer Structure in Blending Strategy for Stretchable Semiconducting Thin Films (CAS, RIKEN)

A technical report by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science discusses the use of deformable blend thin films of polymer semiconductors with PDPPTT and N2200 as examples, using hydrogenated polyisoprene (H-PIP) as the newly developed elastomer. The report highlights the stable semiconducting performance of these blends under large and cyclic mechanical deformation. The study was published in November 2025 and can be found in Nat Commun 16, 10388 (2025).
