In this work, an intrinsically stretchable vertical OECT (svOECTs) is fabricated to bridge the gap, utilizing a vertically stacked architecture that enables high device density and nanometers scale channel lengths. To address the failure of electrodes under mechanical strain, a top electrode engineering strategy is introduced using a trilayer top electrode mechanism. This significantly enhances interfacial adhesion and charge transport. The resulting svOECTs exhibit electromechanical stability, durability and maintain functionality under different mechanical conditions. This study demonstrates that combining vertical device architecture with interfacial molecular engineering provides a framework for next generation bioelectronics of high fidelity sensing on dynamic biological surfaces.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDevelopment of Intrinsically Stretchable Vertical Organic Electrochemical Transistors via Interfacial Top Electrode Modification\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Development of Intrinsically Stretchable Vertical Organic Electrochemical Transistors via Interfacial Top Electrode Modification"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2026-04-19 01:15:24","changed_gmt":"2026-04-20 18:45:14","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2026-04-21T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2026-04-21T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2026-04-21T17:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2026-04-21 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2026-04-21 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2026-04-21 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"MRDC 4404   And Virtually ","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"111531","name":"ms defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
