Advancing the dynamic mechanical analysis of organic semiconductor materials

Abstract

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is a powerful technique for characterizing the mechanical properties of a wide range of materials. However, the importance of DMA in studying organic/polymer semiconductors has not been fully appreciated. In this Highlight, we explore recent advancements in the use of DMA in understanding the viscoelastic and mechanical properties and thermal transitions of organic semiconductor materials. In particular, the insights gained from DMA can serve as new guides for the device optimisation of organic solar cells towards stable operation. Furthermore, we present key findings, challenges, and future directions to advance the application of DMA in organic electronics.
