Journal ArticleDOI
Conducting polymers in biomedical engineering
TL;DR: Although there remain many unanswered questions, particularly regarding the mechanisms by which electrical conduction through CPs affects cells, there is already compelling evidence to demonstrate the significant impact that CPs are starting to make in the biomedical field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nerve growth factor-immobilized polypyrrole: bioactive electrically conducting polymer for enhanced neurite extension.
TL;DR: This novel modification of PPy provides both electrical and biological stimulation, by presenting tethered growth factors and only producing a small decrease in the material's properties when compared to other modification techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micropatterned Polypyrrole: A Combination of Electrical and Topographical Characteristics for the Stimulation of Cells.
TL;DR: This is the first investigation that studies controlled PPy patterning with small dimensions (i.e., less than 5 μm) for biological applications, which demonstrates the relevance of expanding microelectronic materials and techniques to the biomedical field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immobilized nerve growth factor and microtopography have distinct effects on polarization versus axon elongation in hippocampal cells in culture
TL;DR: Overall, topography dominated polarization mechanisms, whereas NGF, and particularly a synergy of immobilized NGF plus topography, dominated axon length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation of cadmium sulfide nanoparticle size and photoluminescence intensity with altered aqueous synthesis conditions
TL;DR: Water-soluble cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocrystal quantum dots were synthesized by aqueous-phase arrested precipitation in the presence of thiolate capping ligands.
