Research

Organic semiconductors feature application versatility, good flexibility, and upscability in comparison to the traditional crystalline silicon semiconductors. With the aims of fulfilling real-life applications and commercialization of the soft electronics, many research efforts have been devoted to improve the performance–stretchability properties of the electronic devices. Besides to the development of the polymeric semiconductors, with the increasing global environmental awareness, the development of renewable and green materials has gained worldwide interest. Therefore, the development of the green polymers including biodegradable and biobased polymers are of great interest to not only eliminate depletion deduction of fossil fuels but also prevent the natural environment from immense volumes of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission.


Wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) may not satisfy the requirement of the explosively growing data transmission, because of its limited carrying capacity, transmission speed, bandwidth, and unreliable security. Light fidelity (Li-Fi) technology holds great promise as a visible and near infrared light communication technology that integrates internet data transport. Therefore, the development of conjugated/photoactive polymers and their phototransistor applications is regarded as indispensable devices to fulfill Li-Fi technology.


Wi-Fi technology has been widely used in our daily lives, which is a technology that uses invisible radio signals to transmit information. With the explosive growth in the transmission speed/capacity of information, it is expected that the working frequency will increasingly rise and reach microwave band in the near future. Therefore, the development of polymer insulators with low dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df) values are of great importance to remedy the signal loss during data transmitting.
