Synthesis of Organic Semiconducting Thin Films and Their Prospects
in Flexible Sensor Technologies
Abstract
This study investigates the synthesis of pure hydrogel films based on the organic semiconductor material PEDOT:PSS and their potential application in flexible sensor devices. Through a controlled drying and rehydration process facilitated by the addition of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), the resulting films exhibit high electrical conductivity (~20–40 S/cm), excellent elasticity (>35%), and strong biocompatibility. These films also demonstrate a low Young’s modulus (~2 MPa) and high water content, ensuring mechanical durability in physiological environments. These combined properties make PEDOT:PSS hydrogel films promising candidates for next-generation flexible and biointegrated sensor technologies.
