Description
Jiang and colleagues report a 2026 materials study on adding fluorine to a charge-carrying plastic used in wet, salt-based settings. They made two versions of a polymer built for organic electrochemical transistors, devices that switch current in watery fluids. One version carried fluorine on part of its backbone and one did not, and compared both.
The fluorinated version kept water out more strongly and took up electrons at a lower energy level. Its transistors switched on at a lower voltage, but passed less signal and moved charge more slowly, partly because the material formed fewer ordered crystals. Paired with a second polymer, both versions made working logic switches with clear signal gains. Both also served as glucose sensors with high sensitivity, so one family can serve in circuits and sensing at once.
