These advancements have positioned polymeric semiconductors as versatile materials for next-generation electronics, including wearable, stretchable, and bio-integrated devices, IoT systems, and soft robotics. In this review, we systematically present the fundamental principles of polymeric semiconductors, including electronic structure, charge transport mechanisms, molecular packing, and solid-state morphology, and elucidate how these factors collectively govern device performance. We further discuss recent advances in synthesis strategies, thin-film processing techniques, molecular doping, and interface engineering, emphasizing their critical roles in improving operational stability, charge-carrier mobility, and energy efficiency. Key applications\u2014such as organic photovoltaics, field-effect transistors, neuromorphic devices, and memristors\u2014are analyzed, with a focus on the intricate structure\u2013property\u2013performance relationships that dictate functionality. Finally, we highlight emerging directions and scientific innovations, including sustainable and degradable polymers, hybrid and two-dimensional polymer systems, and novel strategies to enhance device stability and performance. By integrating fundamental polymer science with device engineering, this review provides a comprehensive, structured, and forward-looking perspective, identifying knowledge gaps and offering insights to guide future breakthroughs and the rational design of high-performance, multifunctional, and environmentally responsible polymeric electronic devices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym17233174","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,2]],"date-time":"2025-12-02T15:31:46Z","timestamp":1764689506000},"page":"3174","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Advances in Polymeric Semiconductors for Next-Generation Electronic Devices"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7021-3173","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ju Won","family":"Lim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Semiconductor and Electronics Engineering, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Yongin 17035, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2001116","DOI":"10.1002\/advs.202001116","article-title":"The evolution of flexible electronics: From nature, beyond nature, and to nature","volume":"7","author":"Wang","year":"2020","journal-title":"Adv.
