Soft electronic materials offer a powerful route toward electronics that can seamlessly integrate with living systems and dynamic, mechanically active environments. This seminar will present recent progress in flexible, stretchable, and self-healing electronic materials, with a particular focus on organic bioelectronics and organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs). By bringing together concepts from polymer chemistry, electrochemistry, and device engineering, these systems enable electronic platforms that are mechanically compliant, resilient to damage, and compatible with soft and curved surfaces, including those found in biological tissues. Beyond individual device demonstrations, the talk will discuss broader material design principles that govern how charges and ions move through soft matter, and how these processes are affected by mechanical deformation, hydration, and long-term operation. Emphasis will be placed on intuitive structure鈥損roperty relationships that link molecular design, processing routes, and macroscopic device behavior. The seminar will also highlight emerging strategies to combine high electronic performance with sustainability, repairability, and material reuse. Together, these advances point toward a new generation of soft electronic systems designed for reliable, long-term function in complex biological and real-world environments

Bio:

Fabio Cicoira, Ph.D., FRSC, is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at Polytechnique Montr茅al. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Chemistry from the University of Bologna and earned his Ph.D. in Microengineering from the 脡cole polytechnique f茅d茅rale de Lausanne (EPFL). His research focuses on the development of soft, adaptive, and sustainable electronic materials, including self-healing polymers, organic bioelectronic devices, and organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), with the goal of enabling electronics that are mechanically compliant, repairable, and intrinsically compatible with biological systems. Through interdisciplinary approaches, his work seeks to establish new foundations for long-term, resilient, and environmentally responsible electronic technologies.
