German scientists develop biodegradable organic circuits

The Youth Research Network project of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany has developed a breakthrough technology "biodegradable printed circuit". The researchers use natural and compostable materials to make printed circuits if the technology is successfully applied. It can allow millions of tons of electronic waste to accumulate in the world each year to achieve natural degradation, which greatly reduces the difficulty of electronic waste disposal and eliminates a large number of toxic hazards caused by the disposal of electronic waste.

Researchers use plant extracts to replace semiconductor materials with gelatinous organic materials. “The printed circuit may not be as long as the inorganic materials, it can be completely degraded after the expected life.” Will not become the accumulation of electronic waste, KIT According to Dr. Gerardo Hernandez-Sosa, head of the youth research project team. When they are no longer needed, he claims that these processed electronic components can be treated as bio-waste or compostable materials. They will rot like organic materials and decompose other organic materials. This is totally different from electronic products (such as OLEDs) whose names bear the word “Organic Organic”. This is the so-called true organic. "We can call carbon-based compounds 'organic,' but they do not mean that they have environmental attributes."

Bio-gelatin derived from natural extraction has very good semiconductor properties. Scientists plan to commercialize this organic printed circuit within three years.
