    29 May 2018 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Rahim Rahimi

    In the first section, I will describe the use of localized CO2 laser irradiation to selectively convert thermoset polymer films (e.g., polyimide) into electrically conductive and highly porous carbon micro/nano structures. This process provides a unique and facile approach for direct writing of...

  8. Organic Conductive Polymers for Wearables Electronics

    29 May 2018 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Gegory A. Sotzing

    Our research laboratory has been involved with the incorporation of PEDOT-PSS into fabrics such as nonwovens like synthetic leathers, and wovens/knits such as spandex. We have discovered that a phase segregation of PEDOT and PSS occurs when PEDOT-PSS is applied to fabric via an esterification...
