KU Leuven researchers 3D print stretchable PEDOT:PSS aerogels for wearable thermoelectrics

1 month 3 weeks ago
A team from KU Leuven,a leading Belgian research university, has demonstrated the first omnidirectional 3D printing of PEDOT:PSS aerogels, enabling stretchable interconnects and high-aspect-ratio thermoelectric (TE) pillars. The research, led by Francisco Molina-Lopez, was published in Advanced Science. The new method integrates direct ink writing (DIW) with in-place freeze-drying to produce free-form, porous PEDOT:PSS structures […]
