This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of a class of highly stretchable and degradable semiconducting polymers. These materials are multi-block copolymers (BCPs) in which the semiconducting blocks are based on the diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) unit flanked by furan rings and the insulating blocks are poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL). The combination of stiff conjugated segments with flexible aliphatic polyesters produces materials that can be stretched >100%. Remarkably, BCPs containing ...[more]
