Elastic organic semiconducting single crystals for durable all-flexible field-effect transistors: insights into the bending mechanism

Ranita Samanta et al.

Summary: Although there are many mechanically flexible crystals, their utility in all-flexible devices is not yet demonstrated. In this study, we report two alkylated diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) semiconducting single crystals, one of which is elastic and the other is brittle. The elastic crystal showed superior stress tolerance and field-effect mobility compared to the brittle crystal. The results provide insights into the bending mechanism and demonstrate the untapped potential of mechanically flexible semiconducting crystals for designing durable field-effect transistor devices.

Electrically conductive hybrid organic crystals as flexible optical waveguides

Xuesong Yang et al.

Summary: This article describes a straightforward approach to prepare sandwich-type hybrid dynamic materials that combine metals as electrically conductive components and polymers as bending, momentum-inducing components with flexible organic crystals as mechanically compliant and optically transducive medium. The resulting hybrid materials are conductive to both electricity and light, while they also respond to changes in temperature by deformation. These materials exhibit excellent mechanothermal robustness and dual functionality, making them suitable for various applications in organic-based optics and electronics.

Organic Molecular Crystals with Dual Stress-Induced Mechanical Response: Elastic and Plastic Flexibility

Poonam Gupta et al.

Summary: The shift in interest from crystal structure to mechanical property among crystal engineering researchers has led to a better understanding of molecular packing, intermolecular interactions, and mechanical behavior. It has been observed that certain molecular crystals exhibit both elastic and plastic flexibility, attributed to the presence of flexible pi interactions and slip systems, while benzamide crystals are found to be brittle materials. This highlights the impact of molecular packing and intermolecular interactions on the mechanical properties of solid crystalline materials under stress.

Elastic Molecular Crystals: From Serendipity to Design to Applications

Soumyajit Ghosh et al.

Summary: The emergence of elastic bendable crystals with exceptional flexibility has sparked a tremendous interest in the design of mechanically adaptable soft crystalline materials, shifting the focus of crystal engineering from structure design to property design. A molecular-level understanding of mechanical flexibility through crystal engineering approach could assist in designing novel elastic bendable crystals with other unique properties, which has evoked sufficient recent interest in various applications like flexible optoelectronics and semiconductor devices. Advanced techniques for analyzing the structure-properties correlation of elastic crystals have paved the way for significant progress in this emerging research area with the potential to play a decisive role in the future growth of crystal engineering.
