Toward Innovative Tissue-Adaptive Polymer Materials for Soft Wearable Electronics

In the proposed experiment, we intend to explore a novel family of soft electroconductive materials based on biomimetic bottlebrush polymer networks. By integrating linear chains of poly(3-hexylthiophene) -P3HT in poly(dimethyl siloxane)- PDMS bottlebrushes, one can develop conductive elastomers that exhibit mechanical properties resembling those of biological tissues. The aim of this study is to explore the structure of the percolated P3HT scaffold within the bottlebrush matrix and its behavior under mechanical deformation.
