In this video, Dr. Ruben Sarabia-Riquelme walks us through the PEDOT:PSS wet spinning process. This converts the PEDOT:PSS into a fiber form, resulting in a conductive, flexible material that has dozens of potential applications in advanced manufacturing, robotics, textiles, and more. KY NSF EPSCoR funded research at UK CAER is at the forefront of this …
