Abstract
The emerging research field of organic bioelectronics has developed rapidly over the last few years and elegant examples of biomedically important applications including for example in-vivo drug delivery and neural interfacing have been demonstrated. The organic electrochemical transistor (OECT), capable of transducing small ionic fluxes into electronic signals in an aqueous environment, is an ideal device to utilise in bioelectronic applications. Initially, nearly all OECTs were fabricated with commercially available PEDOT:PSS, heavily limiting the variability in performance. We have previously shown that tailor-made semiconducting polymers are fully capable of matching the performance of PEDOT:PSS and over the last few years the library of mixed ionic-electronic conductors for OECT applications have expanded significantly. To capitalise on this development and the versatility of the organic chemistry toolbox, further materials development is needed. In my talk I will discuss our recent work in this area covering examples of both molecular and polymeric semiconducting materials and their performance in organic electrochemical transistors.
