Cleveland: 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.

According to Oman News Agency, 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.
