Functionalized Nanomaterial‐Based Polymer Nanocomposites for Flexible Electronics - Functionalized Nanomaterials for Electronic and Optoelectronic Devices - Wiley Online Library

Atomic- and molecular-scale metal oxide nanoparticles show different applications in energy storage devices, flexible electronics, photocatalytic, conducting, magnetic, electrical, and optical properties. Conducting polymers, like polyaniline, polypyrrole, polyacetylene, and polythiophene, show remarkable properties like high order of conductivity, biocompatibility, flexibility, mechanical strength, and porous nature. Conducting polymers when combined with metal nanoparticles sometimes show a synergistic effect in their properties like energy storage devices, flexible electronics, photocatalytic, conducting, magnetic, and electrical properties. Reduced graphene oxide due to layered and porous structure also shows advanced functional applications like the production of electrode material in energy storage devices that are rechargeable batteries and supercapacitors. Cellulose is a naturally occurring biopolymer and is biodegradable. The cellulose when combined with conducting polymer, metal oxide nanoparticles, and reduced graphene oxide results in flexible nanocomposites for use in electronic devices like flexible display screens in laptops, mobile phones, and televisions. This book chapter is focused on the fabrication of metal oxide, conducting polymer, reduced graphene oxide, and cellulose-based functionalized nanomaterials for their use in flexible electronic devices.
