Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.
