18-Sep-2025 Pioneering recipe for conductive plastics – paves the way for your body to go online Chalmers University of Technology It’s mouldable, biocompatible and glitters like gold. Plastic that can conduct an electric charge is a material that can be used for everything from sensors that can monitor our health to self-cooling clothing or electronic adhesive plasters that can be applied to the skin and send data directly to a mobile phone. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden recently presented a ground-breaking ‘recipe’ that makes it easier to manufacture this kind of sought-after electrically conductive plastic in larger quantities – without the use of harmful chemicals, and in a much more cost-effective way. “Once higher production volumes are achieved, it is possible to work with the material in a completely different way. Larger quantities are needed to enable the development of a range of applications, for example in biotechnology, energy storage, and wearable electronics,” says Christian Müller, Professor at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers and co-author of a study recently published in Science Advances.
