Background:

Conducting polymers are typically brittle, limiting their application in flexible and stretchable electronic devices.
Developing solution-processable, deformable conducting polymers is crucial for next-generation electronics.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a simple strategy for converting brittle conducting polymers into highly deformable viscoelastic materials.
To demonstrate the utility of these modified polymers in advanced electronic applications.

Main Methods:

A strategy was developed to modify poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) to achieve viscoelastic properties.
The storage modulus versus loss modulus was adjusted to tailor the polymer's viscoelasticity.
The modified polymer was integrated into electronic devices.

Main Results:

A brittle conducting polymer (PSS) was successfully transformed into a solution-processed, highly deformable viscoelastic polymer.
The viscoelastic properties were controlled by adjusting the storage and loss moduli.
Demonstrated applications include rapid self-healing of conductivity, custom-designed LEDs with complex micropatterns, and foldable stretchable LEDs.

Conclusions:

The presented strategy effectively enhances the deformability of conducting polymers.
The modified polymers are suitable for fabricating advanced electronic devices requiring flexibility and stretchability.
This work paves the way for novel applications in deformable electronics.
