Researchers at Case Western Reserve University developed an eco-friendly plastic designed for wearable electronics, sensors, and various electrical applications.
Contrary to traditional materials, this innovative ferroelectric polymer contains no fluorine—a chemical often labeled as a “forever chemical” because it persists in the environment without breaking down.
Science X Daily pointed out that fluorine-based compounds pose significant environmental challenges due to their durability and resistance to degradation. The new polymer overcomes this issue by eliminating fluorine altogether, offering a safer alternative that combines flexibility with sustainable chemistry.
