Surface Analysis Strategies for Conducting Polymers
Recently, the utilisation of conducting polymers (CPs) has become ubiquitous in biomedical research due to their special properties. The processing simplicity of this type of polymers class was reported to be one of the main reasons behind its widespread scrutiny and application. In addition, their conductive properties may stimulate electrical signals for certain tissues such as the brain, nerve, and heart. Polyaniline (PANI), Poly(3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) PEDOTPSS), and Polypyrrole (PPY) are among the top choices for many scientists to explore the potentials of CPs as biomaterials. However, the bio-stability of these polymers has not been subjected to comprehensive study even though the biocompatibility properties have been reported extensively. The bio-stability can be interpreted as the ability of the polymer to retain its chemical states and conductivity. This is highly critical to ensure extended operational time of CPs when implanted
