TL;DR: This work reports on fully printed organic thin-film transistor devices and circuits fabricated on 1-μm-thick parylene-C films with high field-effect mobility, and remained operational even under 50% compressive strain without significant changes in their performance.

TL;DR: This work built highly uniform organic TFT arrays with average mobility levels as high as 0.80 cm2 V−1 s−1 and ideal threshold voltages of 0 V by combining the fabrication techniques of silver nanoparticle inks, organic semiconductors, and insulating polymers on thin plastic films.

TL;DR: The field effect mobility of a liquid-crystalline semiconducting polymer, poly(2,5-bis(3-hexadecylthiophene-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b] thiophene) (PB16TTT) has depended significantly on the surface energies of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed on insulating layers as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A wireless temperature sensing platform was obtained by integrating the printed sensor to a printed flexible hybrid circuit, which performed a stable real-time healthcare monitoring.

TL;DR: This work describes ultrathin CMOS logic circuits, for which not only the source/drain electrodes but also the semiconductor layers were printed, and demonstrates great potential for flexible and printed electronics technology, particularly for wearable sensor applications with wireless connectivity.
