| Abstract: | Printed electronics (PE) have emerged as a rapidly growing technology owing to their potential for low-cost fabrication, flexibility, and scalable device manufacturing. The dependence on fossil-based components raises environmental concerns, leading the scientific community toward sustainable solutions, aiming to reduce the accumulation of electronic waste (e-waste) in the environment and the emission of toxic gases, as well as to offer a circular solution in the sector. This review presents an in-depth overview of biobased polymeric materials in printed and organic (bio-)electronics. Firstly, the principal printing techniques are presented in detail. The review proceeds by outlining the various biobased synthetic and natural polymers, along with their blends, that are employed in the fabrication of biobased substrates for printed devices. Finally, the review emphasizes the existing challenges and constraints in the field of PE, along with the promising opportunities for its future advancement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
