Abstract
In recent years, immense efforts in the flexible electronics field have led to unprecedented progress and to devices of ever increasing performance. Despite these advances, new opportunities are sought in order to widen the applications of organic-based technologies and expand their functionalities and features. We discuss here challenges and opportunities, with focus on the use of multicomponent systems for, e.g., increasing the mechanical flexibility and stability of organic electronic products, or introducing other features such as self-encapsulation and faster mixed ion-electron transport. One specific strategy is based on blending polymeric insulators with organic semiconductors; which has led to a desired improvement of the mechanical properties of organic devices, producing in certain scenarios robust and stable architectures. Here we discuss the working principle of semiconductor:insulator blends, examining the different approaches that have recently been reported in literature. We illustrate how organic field-effect transistors (OFET)s and organic solar cells (OPV)s can be fabricated with such systems without detrimental effects on the resulting device characteristics even at high contents of the insulator. Furthermore, we review how blending can assist in the fabrication of more reliable and versatile organic electrochemical transistors (OECT)s.
