Funded Activity Summary

Ion Implanted Polymers as New Plastic Electronic and Superconducting Materials. A current focus of the electronics industry is developing electronic circuitry and devices on plastic. Such 'soft electronics' offer significant benefits over conventional 'hard' electronics including low cost large-scale production, mechanical flexibility and chemical versatility. We recently discovered that plastic electronic and superconducting materials could be created using a process called ion implantation. This project aims to develop these new materials for potential applications including plastic superconducting electronics, low-cost lightweight plastic circuitry for use with other organic/inorganic electronic materials and electrodes for interfacing with biological systems to create biosensors and biomolecular electronics.
