The ability to culture and differentiate neural stem cells (NSCs) generate functional populations is attracting increasing attention due its potential enable cell-therapies treat neurodegenerative diseases. Recent studies have shown that electrical stimulation improves neuronal differentiation of populations, highlighting the importance development electroconductive biocompatible materials for NSC tissue engineering regenerative medicine. Here, we report use conjugated polymer...
Bioelectricity drives several processes in the human body. The development of new materials that can deliver electrical stimuli is gaining increasing attention field tissue engineering. In this work, novel, highly electrically conductive nanofibers made poly [2,2′-m-(phenylene)-5,5′-bibenzimidazole] (PBI) have been manufactured by electrospinning and then coated with cross-linked (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped (styrene sulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) spin coating or dip coating. These...
The potential of the electrical double layer (EDL) formed at interface between cross-linked poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was measured respect to a reference Ag/AgCl electrode, yielding value ca. 300 mV, which corresponds work function 4.9 eV. More importantly, we report that application voltage along PEDOT:PSS substrate induces modification EDL, mirrors applied underneath. This is translated into an ionic...
