Many efforts are being put together to reduce the impact coming from these polymers by developing environmentally-friendly approaches that substitute traditional methods of fabrication and materials for thin-film electronics. Using biodegradable materials for the development of substrates for single-use electronics is a promising approach towards this goal. In this work, two types of gelatin substrates were developed, one being gelatin-glycerol, and the other being gelatin-emulsifier, to tune their degradation properties without compromising their capability for thin-film electronics fabrication, with degradation time of 15 days and 5 days, respectively. As a demonstration, thin-film temperature sensors were fabricated on the substrates and their response was analyzed over a temperature range of 5 °C-60 °C. The temperature coefficient of resistance of the sensors fabricated on the gelatin-glycerol and gelatin-emulsifier was 0.0024 °C−1 and 0.0046 °C−1, respectively. The use of green materials to create substrates for thin-film electronics applications is paving the way for the reduction of plastic usage and the harmful impact that the presence of these polymers have in nature.},

In this letter, a self-healing silicone tape is introduced as a self-healable flexible substrate that to fabricate a resistive strain sensor. The sensor has an average gauge factor of 34.6$\pm$0.26 up to 50% stretch. Moreover, the sensor can be cut and healed without the use of any adhesive materials or heating. After cutting, the healed sensor still has an average gauge factor of 2.0$\pm$0.006 up to 4% stretch, a stable response over 150 stretch-release cyclic tests, and breaks only after 18% of applied tensile strain.},

To evaluate the scalability of our thin-film technology for systems realization, as well as for the development of highly flexible devices, two parallel strategies are explored. First, the stability of oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) is investigated under different environmental conditions (temperature and humidity variation). Afterwards, InGaZnO-based TFTs are integrated with Perovskite Light Emitting Diodes (PeLEDs), to evaluate the technological scalability for flexible active display. Secondly, the employment of stretchable Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), acting as a stretchable substrate, in combination with the induction of customized wrinkles in the electronics stack, is used to allow the realization of bendable and stretchable TFTs and circuits.},

Efforts are being made to reduce the impact plastics have in nature, with recycling and upcycling as promising approaches that not only reduce the harm plastics to the biosphere, but also help in developing a circular model for the usage of these organic polymers. In this work, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was recycled from commercial beverage bottles to create a sustainable substrate for the fabrication of thin-film electronics. As an application for the substrate, temperature sensors were developed and their response was analyzed over a temperature range from 5 °C to 65 °C with a temperature coefficient resistance $(\alpha)$ = 0.002 °C−1, used to measure the temperature of commercial bottle beverages. The development of these substrates provides a second life to the PET from bottles, paving the way for the sustainable and circular usage of plastic as substrates for thin-film electronic devices and a reduction of the negative effects their presence and footprint have in nature.},

    abstract = {Flexible electronics, most prominently thin-film transistors (TFTs) on plastic substrates, are considered the prime building block for the realization of innovative wearable systems. Two of the currently most successful fabrication processes of transistors on free-standing polymer foils are large-area-compatible devices structured by conventional UV lithography and high-speed transistors realized by self-alignment. Here, both processes, based on InGaZnO (IGZO) technology, are combined for the first time. This not only demonstrates their compatibility, but also showcases the differences between the resulting devices. Concerning the geometry, TFTs with the same nominal designed channel length of 1.5μm exhibit a real channel length of 1.5μm (self-aligned) and 4.5μm (conventional). Furthermore, the integrated side-by-side fabrication enables the electrical comparison of both types of TFTs excluding external factors. While all TFTs exhibit similar threshold voltages around $\mathrm {0 V}$ and excellent on/off ratios of $\approx \mathrm {e10 }$ , conventional TFTs are easier to fabricate and have comparably higher mobilities up to 16cm2V−1s−1. At the same time, self-aligned TFTs demonstrate better ac performance, demonstrating a maximum oscillation frequency of 216 MHz. This integration shows new possibilities for the realization of complex systems made from building blocks optimized for reliability and speed.},

    abstract = {Transparent transistors are mainly investigated in view of their integration in displays and their employment in wearable electronics where the integration of flexible and imperceptible systems is an important requirement. Here, the fabrication and ac performance of flexible InGaZnO thin-film transistors (TFTs) and circuits are presented to evaluate their suitability for analog sensor conditioning applications. Functional oxides are employed to guarantee the transparency of the device, while their fabrication processes are suitable to directly realize electronics on a flexible polyimide substrate. The TFTs show state-of-the-art performance with a field-effect mobility $\mu _{\text {eff}}\,\,= {19}.{39}\,\, \text {cm}^{{2}} \text {V}^{-1} \text {s}^{-1}$ and functionality while bent to radii as low as 5 mm. Reliable scattering parameters measurements confirm transit frequencies as high as $f_{t}~\approx ~7.84$ MHz. Simultaneously, nMOS ring oscillators (ROs) show functionality at supply voltage ${V} _{\text {DD}}$ ranging from 1.75 to 12.25 V with a maximum oscillation frequency ${f} _{\text {osc}}\,\,=132.9$ kHz. Finally, common-source amplifiers (CSAs) exhibit the voltage gains up to 10.7 dB, the cutoff frequencies up to 10.8 kHz, and a power consumption down to $4.4~\mu \text{W}$ .},
