Synthesis and Performance Study of Conductive Polymers for Flexible Electronic Devices

Abstract

With the rapid development of wearable devices, flexible sensors, and flexible displays, higher performance requirements are being placed on conductive materials used in flexible electronic devices. Conductive polymers, known for their excellent flexibility, good conductivity, and tunable molecular structures, have become a research hotspot in the field of flexible electronics. This paper systematically summarizes the design and synthesis strategies of conductive polymers for flexible electronic devices, with a focus on the synthesis methods and structural regulation techniques of typical conductive polymers such as polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPy), and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). It further analyzes their electrical properties, mechanical performance, and environmental stability in flexible electronics. Finally, the paper discusses future development trends and challenges of conductive polymers in flexible devices, aiming to provide a theoretical foundation and technical support for the research of high-performance flexible electronic materials.
