Conjugated Polymers Engineered for Flexible/Stretchable Electronics
Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.This review highlights glass transition temperature (Tg) as the central parameter linking molecular structure to device performance in conjugated polymers. By tuning backbone rigidity, side‐chain architecture, and dynamic bonding, Tg governs the balance between π–π stacking–enabled charge transport and mechanical compliance.
