The field of soft polymer electronics is at the forefront of technological innovation, enabling new possibilities in wearables, healthcare monitoring, flexible displays, and robotics. These systems rely on unique material properties like elasticity and conductivity, combined with innovative device designs. This module introduces participants to the basics of material science and device engineering for flexible electronics, focusing on stretchable sensors and devices such as organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). It provides a condensed and focused exploration of the key aspects of soft electronics, including material properties, device design, and applications.
