Want to boost the IDS output of an OECT? Anisotropic polymer alignment along the channel direction enables a 13-fold increase in IDS. Such channel engineering opens the door to unprecedented signal amplification (here gmL/Wd = 2 580 S cm-1 with a PBTTT bearing single-ether side chains), faster ON/OFF switching and improved stability for the next-generation bioelectronics. This work is the fruit of the collaboration of STELORG members (O. Bardagot, N. Leclerc, M. Brinkmann) with N. Banerji's group (UniBern, Switzerland).
