Materials for Electronics, Optoelectronics and Sensing
CEmerging materials for biointegrated and sustainable (opto)electronic devices
Next-generation electronics increasingly depend on thin-film materials that unite high performance with sustainability and biocompatibility. Advances in 2D crystals, organic semiconductors, oxides, and bio-polymers enable flexible, biodegradable, and high-functionality devices for future technologies.
Scope:
The development of next-generation electronic and optoelectronic platforms increasingly relies on thin film materials that combine high performance with sustainability and biocompatibility.
Emerging classes of materials—including two-dimensional crystals, organic semiconductors, functional oxides, and bio-derived polymers—are being engineered and processed into diverse nanoscale and mesoscale architectures such as dots, nanowires/tubes, thin films, and 2D layers.
They exhibit unique transport, optical, mechanical, and biomimetic properties, including brain-inspired functionalities, self-healing mechanisms, ionic-electronic conduction, that can be tuned with unprecedented accuracy. Additionally, they can be processed using advanced manufacturing techniques, such as additive printing, solution-based deposition, and large-area vacuum processes, enabling the creation of complex and high-performance devices that operate reliably on flexible, stretchable, and biodegradable supports.
Such advances are unlocking a new generation of biodegradable and bioresorbable devices, highly sensitive sensors and actuators, and optoelectronic circuits designed for sustainable and circular electronics. Applications extend across human–machine interfaces, soft robotics, prosthetics, biomedical and Internet of Things technologies, highlighting the transformative role of these materials in wearable, implantable, and environmentally responsible devices.
