Abstract

Flexible Electronics In article number 2409458, Zhimin Chai, Xinchun Lu, and co-workers report on constructing hydrophilic and hydrophobic patterned surfaces on polyimide (PI) substrates, addressing the problem that PI substrates are difficult to process into sufficiently hydrophobic. With the proposed pretreatment, a threefold improvement in active sites is achieved to ensure that PI could react adequately with the hydrophobic molecules. The pretreatment enables fabrication of all-solution-processed metal oxide electronics on PI substrates.
