Journal ArticleDOI
Conductive polymers: towards a smart biomaterial for tissue engineering.
TL;DR: Focusing mainly on polypyrrole, polyaniline and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), this work reviews conductive polymers from the perspective of tissue engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial anti-oxidant electroactive injectable hydrogel as self-healing wound dressing with hemostasis and adhesiveness for cutaneous wound healing
TL;DR: The antibacterial electroactive injectable hydrogel dressing prolonged the lifespan of dressing relying on self-healing ability and significantly promoted the in vivo wound healing process attributed to its multifunctional properties, meaning that they are excellent candidates for full-thickness skin wound healing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial adhesive injectable hydrogels with rapid self-healing, extensibility and compressibility as wound dressing for joints skin wound healing.
TL;DR: In vivo experiments indicated that curcumin loaded hydrogels significantly accelerated wound healing rate with higher granulation tissue thickness and collagen disposition and upregulated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in a full-thickness skin defect model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adhesive Hemostatic Conducting Injectable Composite Hydrogels with Sustained Drug Release and Photothermal Antibacterial Activity to Promote Full-Thickness Skin Regeneration During Wound Healing
TL;DR: These adhesive hemostatic antioxidant conductive photothermal antibacterial hydrogels based on hyaluronic acid-graft-dopamine and reduced graphene oxide using a H2 O2 /HPR (horseradish peroxidase) system are prepared for wound dressing and are an excellent wound dressing for full-thickness skin repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Injectable antibacterial conductive nanocomposite cryogels with rapid shape recovery for noncompressible hemorrhage and wound healing.
TL;DR: The authors report on the development of injectable, biocompatible carbon nanotube reinforced quaternized chitosan cryogels with shape memory, conductivity and antibacterial properties for hemostatic control for lethal noncompressible hemorrhage hemostasis and wound healing.

Preparation and Properties of Poly(methacrylamide)s Containing Oligoaniline Side Chains
Ru Chen,Brian C. Benicewicz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new poly(methacrylamide) containing oligoaniline side chains was synthesized and characterized, and the electrochemical characterization of these polymers by cyclic voltammetry indicated that the redox behaviors were similar to the corresponding oligoanileines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrospun functionalized polyaniline copolymer-based nanofibers with potential application in tissue engineering.
TL;DR: The nanofibrous electrospun 3ABAPANI-PLA blends gave enhanced cell growth, potent antimicrobial capability against Staphylococcus aureus and electrical conductivity, and showed promise as the basis of a new generation of functional wound dressings that may eliminate deficiencies of currently available antimicrobial dressings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Responsive conducting polymer-hydrogel composites
TL;DR: A range of conducting polymer-hydrogel composites have been prepared and characterised as discussed by the authors, and the composites are electroactive and have high rehydration levels (80-95%).
Journal ArticleDOI
Porous-conductive chitosan scaffolds for tissue engineering, 1. Preparation and characterization.
TL;DR: It was found that a few different kinds of scaffolds exhibited the desired mechanical strength for some tissue engineering applications and the miscibility of polypyrrole and chitosan was evaluated using a dynamic mechanical method.
