Electrochemical modulation of epithelia formation using conducting polymers.
Conducting polymers are soft, flexible materials, exhibiting material properties that can be reversibly changed by electrochemically altering the redox state. Surface chemistry is an important determinant for the molecular events of cell adhesion. Therefore, we analyzed whether the redox state of the conducting polymer PEDOT:Tosylate can be used to control epithelial cell adhesion and prolifera...
متن کاملChemical and Electrochemical Syntheses of Conducting Polymers
Polymers can be prepared using chemical and/or electrochemical methods of polymerization (see Chap. 2), although most redox polymers have been synthesized by chemical polymerization. Electrochemically active groups are either incorporated into the polymer structure inside the chain or included as a pendant group (prefunctionalized polymers), added to the polymer phase during polymerization, or ...
متن کاملElectrochemical adjustment of the work function of conducting polymers
During the last two decades conducting polymers were used for conductive coatings, for corrosion protection and as materials for sensors and separation membranes [1]. More recently it has been demonstrated that conducting polymers are applicable as an active layer in solar cells and organic light emitting diodes (OLED), see Fig. 1, [2-4]. In all applications the conducting polymers are used in ...
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 کاملElectrochemical DNA Hybridization Sensors Based on Conducting Polymers
Conducting polymers (CPs) are a group of polymeric materials that have attracted considerable attention because of their unique electronic, chemical, and biochemical properties. This is reflected in their use in a wide range of potential applications, including light-emitting diodes, anti-static coating, electrochromic materials, solar cells, chemical sensors, biosensors, and drug-release syste...
