Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Organic semiconductors are desirable, lightweight, and flexible materials for electronic applications. Significant merits of organic semiconductors include their chemical diversity, low-cost process fabrication, and compatibility with various substrates, including plastics, fiber substrates, and stretchable systems, which distinguish organic semiconductor-based devices from conventional devices. 

This Special Issue calls for research papers, reviews, and short communications related to state-of-the-art developments contributing to electronic devices based on organic semiconductors, including small molecules, polymers, and organic–inorganic hybrid materials.

Polymer dielectric materials have recently attracted attention for their versatile applications in emerging electronic devices such as memory, field-effect transistors (FETs), and triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). This review highlights the advances in polymer dielectric materials and their integration into these devices, emphasizing their unique electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties that enable high performance and flexibility. By exploring their roles in self-sustaining technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Everything (IoE)), this review emphasizes the importance of polymer dielectric materials in enabling low-power, flexible, and sustainable electronic devices. The discussion covers design strategies to improve the dielectric constant, charge trapping, and overall device stability. Specific challenges, such as optimizing electrical properties, ensuring process scalability, and enhancing environmental stability, are also addressed. In addition, the review explores the synergistic integration of memory devices, FETs, and TENGs, focusing on their potential in flexible and wearable electronics, self-powered systems, and sustainable technologies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state and prospects of polymer dielectric-based devices in advanced electronic applications by examining recent research breakthroughs and identifying future opportunities.
