S5 Polymers for Electronics and Photonics
Polymers are playing an increasingly pivotal role in next-generation electronic and photonic technologies, offering unique advantages in flexibility, lightweight processing, and tunable functionality. From organic and hybrid electronics to plasmonics and photonics, polymer-based materials are now central to enabling devices that are not only efficient but also mechanically compliant and scalable. This session will highlight the latest advances in the design, synthesis, and integration of organic, organic-inorganic hybrid, and polymeric materials for electronic and photonic applications. Particular emphasis will be placed on flexible and stretchable platforms that can reshape the future of displays, sensors, energy devices, and optical systems. By bringing together leading researchers across disciplines, the session aims to foster dialogue on how polymers can bridge performance, reliability, and manufacturability in rapidly evolving electronic and photonic technologies.
Topics will include:
- Organic and Hybrid Electronics
- Polymers for Plasmonics and Photonics
- Flexible and Stretchable Electronics
