Self-healable, recyclable, and reconfigurable wearable electronics device

A method for manufacturing an electronic device, the method comprising:

• disposing a volume of liquid metal (LM) on a polyimine substrate to form a plurality of electrical interconnects;
• disposing a plurality of electronic chip components onto the polyimine substrate and in contact with the plurality of electrical interconnects;
• and
• applying a layer of polyimine onto the polyimine substrate, the plurality of electrical interconnects, and the plurality of electronic chip components;
• wherein the polyimine substrate comprises a product of a polymerization reaction between
• (i) a dialdehyde monomer of Formula (I):
• wherein
• represents C1-C20 alkyl, C4-C10 heteroaryl, C6-C12 aryl, or C3-C9 cycloalkyl;
• R10 is independently a substituent at each open valence of A;
• and
• each instance of R10 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, deuterium, C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C6 alkenyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, hydroxy, halogen, and combinations thereof;
• (ii) a diamine monomer of Formula (II):
• wherein
• Alk20, Alk21, Alk22, Alk23, Alk24, and Alk25 are each independently C1-C12 alkyl, which is independently optionally substituted with at least one of deuterium, C2-C6 alkenyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, hydroxy, halogen, and any combination thereof;
• and
• a, b, and c are each independently an integer from 0 to 5;
• and
• (iii) a triamine monomer of Formula (III):
• wherein
• Alk30, Alk31, Alk32, Alk33, Alk34, and Alk35 are each independently C1-C12 alkyl, which is independently optionally substituted with deuterium, C2-C6 alkenyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, hydroxy, halogen, and combinations thereof;
• and
• d, e, and f are each independently an integer from 0 to 5.
