All-organic transistors printed on a biodegradable and bioderived substrate for sustainable bioelectronics.

ABSTRACT: Biodegradable electronics is an incipient need in order to mitigate the alarming increase of electronic waste worldwide caused by capillary penetration of electronic devices and sensors. Flexibility, solution processability, low capital expenditure, and energy-efficient processes, which are distinctive features of organic printed electronics, have to be complemented by a sustainable sourcing and end-of-life of materials employed. This requirement calls for solutions where materials, especially substrates that typically represent the largest volume, can be biodegraded in the environment with no harm, yet assuring that no precious resources are dispersed. In this work, the bioderived and biodegradable biopolymer polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) was used as a substrate, cast from an acetic acid solu
