Electro-synthesized PEDOT/glutamate chemically modified electrode: a combination of electrical and biocompatible features
Key concepts
Scholarcy highlights
- Neural prosthetic devices have been developed that can facilitate the stimulation and recording of electrical activity when implanted in the central nervous system
- Sodium p-toluenesulfonate was chosen as the first dopant and subsequent incorporation of Glu was accomplished via ion exchange
- The PEDOT/Glu-coated electrode showed better cell attachment compared with a PEDOT/TSNa-coated electrode in in vitro cell culture of PC12
- The stability of PEDOT was studied by immersing the coated electrode in a biologically relevant reducing agent of glutathione
