Conducting polymers grown in hydrogel scaffolds coated on neural prosthetic devices.
The conducting polymer polypyrrole (PPy) was electrochemically grown on hydrogel scaffolds deposited on the surface of microfabricated neural prosthetic devices. It is shown that the pyrrole monomer can be grown vertically through the hydrogel layer up to the surface without affecting the adjacent sites on the probes. The electrochemical properties of the conducting polymer-modified hydrogels w...
متن کاملElectrochemical polymerization of conducting polymers in living neural tissue.
A number of biomedical devices require extended electrical communication with surrounding tissue. Significant improvements in device performance would be achieved if it were possible to maintain communication with target cells despite the reactive, insulating scar tissue that forms at the device-tissue interface. Here, we report that the conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDO...
متن کاملPolymers for Neural Implants
Neural implants are technical systems that restore sensory or motor functions after injury and modulate neural behavior in neuronal diseases. Neural interfaces or prostheses have lead to new therapeutic options and rehabilitation approaches in the last 40 years. The interface between the nervous tissue and the technical material is the place that determines success or failure of the neural impl...
متن کاملPolyfuran conducting polymers: Synthesis, properties, and applications
In this review, polyfuran (PFu) synthesis methods and the nucleation mechanism; the electrochemical, structural, morphological, and magnetic properties of PFu; thermal behavior; theoretical calculations on PFu, as well as its applications reported to date, have been compiled. Not only PFu homopolymers have been reviewed, but also PFu co-polymers, PFu bipolymers, and PFu composites. The results ...
متن کاملHuman-emg Prosthetic Hand Interface Using Neural Network
For the improvement of the amputee’s activity of daily living (ADL), several kinds of electromyogram (EMG) controlled prosthetic hands have been developed so far. But there is still significant difference between the movements of these hands and human ones. In this paper, we propose a direct torque control method for the prosthetic hand. In order to estimate the joint torque from EMG signals, a...
