This seminar will present recen t progress in flexible\, stretchable\, and self-healing electronic materia ls\, with a particular focus on organic bioelectronics and organic electro chemical transistors (OECTs). By bringing together concepts from polymer c hemistry\, electrochemistry\, and device engineering\, these systems enabl e electronic platforms that are mechanically compliant\, resilient to dama ge\, 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 an d ions move through soft matter\, and how these processes are affected by mechanical deformation\, hydration\, and long-term operation. Emphasis wil l be placed on intuitive structure–property relationships that link molecu lar design\, processing routes\, and macroscopic device behavior. The semi nar will also highlight emerging strategies to combine high electronic per formance with sustainability\, repairability\, and material reuse. Togethe r\, these advances point toward a new generation of soft electronic system s designed for reliable\, long-term function in complex biological and rea l-world environments\n\n \n\nBio:\n\nFabio Cicoira\, Ph.D.\, FRSC\, is a F ull Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal. 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 École polytechnique fédérale de Lau sanne (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 (O ECTs)\, with the goal of enabling electronics that are mechanically compli ant\, repairable\, and intrinsically compatible with biological systems. T hrough interdisciplinary approaches\, his work seeks to establish new foun dations for long-term\, resilient\, and environmentally responsible electr onic technologies.\n DTSTART:20260210T183000Z DTEND:20260210T190000Z LOCATION:OM 10\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8\, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ Chemical Society Seminar Series-Fabio Cicoira: Materials and Processes for Self-Healing\, Sustainable\, and Biointegrated Electronics URL:/chemistry/channels/event/mcgill-chemical-society- seminar-series-fabio-cicoira-materials-and-processes-self-healing-370627 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
