The CF and OF for both molecules are thermally stable and reversibly switchable and have appropriate photoconversion quantum yields [15] which make these molecules suitable for further implementation in the molecular-scaled flexible devices with optically modulated properties [5].
All the tested devices showed negligible change in current and excellent robustness upon being bent 1,000 times for 10 mm in ambient air. Figure 7 Mechanical robustness of flexible devices with TA, NB, and NR nanolines respectively under 1,000 times cyclic loading.
Similarly, it is also possible to create a very flexible device with high elastic modulus materials if the critical dimensions are very small.
In this section, we describe applications of several flexible devices possible with carbon electronics jsuch as sensors, LEDs, RF devices, stimulators, and memory devices.
In the past decades, polymer solar cells have attracted more and more scientific attention due to their advantages, such as low cost, light weight, easy fabrication, and the possibility to fabricate flexible devices, compared with inorganic solar cells [1 5].
In the future, the researchers said similarly flexible devices created with the help of a 3-D printer could be designed to treat pediatric gastrointestinal, orthopedic or cardiovascular conditions.
The flexible devices of cantilevers with lump structures and piezoelectric ZnO thin film is designed.
Also, with flexible devices like a smartphone or e-reader, people could carry a large screen in their pockets without the bulky weight of a device made of glass or metal.
We explore opportunities in the domain of mobile gaming with flexible devices, by focusing on deformable inputs to control navigation in 3D virtual environments.
Organic solar cells (OSCs) have emerged as a cost-effective solution in fabricating large-area, lightweight and flexible devices by using simple techniques with low environmental impact.
These investigations in Fig. 5 verify that the current sensor is much more sensitive than other flexible devices based on networks, when compared with some other works [1, 25, 48].
