Behavior of electrical stressed flexible resistive layer. Part II: Intrinsically conductive polymer
Abstract
There is a necessity to include sensors (resistors) in the design of organic electronic devices in order to extend the range of possible applications. It is essential to identify potential resistive materials, the processes and methods to structure them and to analyze their resistive properties on flexible substrates. Two materials widely used in organic electronics are carbon filled polymer (CFP) and the intrinsically conductive polymer (ICP) poly (3, 4-ethylendioxythiophene) doped with polystyrene sulfonate acid (PEDOT:PSS). In this paper we focus on the DC and pulsed stress behavior of these conductive polymers on flexible substrates and the resulting changes of their resistive properties. The paper is presented in two parts. Part one deals with carbon filled polymers (CFPs)and part two analyzes the behavior of intrinsically conductive polymesrs (ICPs). Copyright
