Abstract:

In this chapter we focus on a novel boosting development of organic electronics that exploits the mixed electronic and ionic conduction that certain organic materials can sustain, to produce a wide range of devices with potential applications in bioelectronics. Examples of such devices are organic electrochemical transistors and miniaturized bio-laboratories making use of conducting polymers, whose physico-chemical properties are controlled electronically. Organic electrochemical transistors can be operated in aqueous environment ...
