Plastics pollution is causing several challenging environmental issues, including electronic wastes (E-wastes) and microplastics. To date, there is no single solution to meet the issue, but biodegradation of synthetic polymer by exotic creatures can provide an innovative way. Here, we introduce the multi-functional poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/montmorillonite (MMT) composites, which are biodegradable by superworms. The composites show the bio-inspired layered nanostructures, providing versatile multi-functionalities, including mechanical toughness, flexibility, fire-retardancy, long-term water stability, dry-state electrical conductivity, and electrochemical properties. Combined with these multi-functionalities based on bio-inspired nanostructure, the biodegradable property of the PEDOT:PSS/MMT composites suggest an innovative direction to use conductive polymers for green-electronics, bio-electronics, and edible-electronics. |
