Wearable electronics require the stretchability of conjugated polymers. This has prompted the exploration of combining insulating and conjugated polymers to achieve both high charge transport and mechanical resilience. A variety of insulating polymers (
Insulating polymers are characterized by a predominantly σ-covalent structure, which localize electrons in the atoms and exhibit dielectricity. Insulating polymers typically adopt a more linear and extended conformation, as the repeating units are connected by single covalent bonds, resulting in a relatively straight and extended chain structure. For most insulating polymers, the contour length (Lc) is significantly larger than their persistence length (Lp) due to the rotation of C−C single bonds (
