TL;DR: A hybrid system for producing conducting polymers within a doping hydrogel mesh that has superior mechanical stability and a modulus significantly closer to neural tissue than materials which are commonly used for medical electrodes is presented.

TL;DR: A new hydrogel system is developed that enables tailored placement of covalent linking of sulfonate doping groups to poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) macromers, which facilitates tailorable, high-performance CH electrodes for next generation, low impedance neuroprosthetic devices.

TL;DR: In this paper, a progress report provides a background on electrode modification techniques, exploring state-of-the-art approaches to improving implantable electrodes, and details the challenge of designing electrodes that can bridge the technology gap between conventional metal electrode interfaces and new living electrodes through considering electrical, chemical, physical and biological characteristics.

TL;DR: This review covers the design rationale for application of hydrogels systems for use in bioelectronic devices with a focus on in vivo applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of synthetic hydrogels and cell-laden biomaterials is promising better interfaces, as it opens a door to establishing synaptic connections between the electrode material and the excitable cells.
