“…The conductive properties of CPs make them an important class of materials for a wide range of applications [ 7 , 8 ], mainly in energy storage [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ] electronic and photovoltaic devices [ 13 ], electrochromic displays [ 14 , 15 ], electrocatalysis and photocatalysis [ 16 , 17 ], and sensors [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ], etc. CPs have garnered increasing attention in biomedicine because they can convert different types of signals into electrical signals.…”

Conducting Polymers, Hydrogels and Their Composites: Preparation, Properties and Bioapplications

This review is focused on current state-of-the-art research on electroactive-based materials and their synthesis, as well as their physicochemical and biological properties. Special attention is paid to pristine intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) and their composites with other organic and inorganic components, well-defined micro- and nanostructures, and enhanced surface areas compared with those of conventionally prepared ICPs. Hydrogels, due to their defined porous structures and being filled with aqueous solution, offer the ability to increase the amount of immobilized chemical, biological or biochemical molecules. When other components are incorporated into ICPs, the materials form composites; in this particular case, they form conductive composites. The design and synthesis of conductive composites result in the inheritance of the advantages of each component and offer new features because of the synergistic effects between the components. The resulting structures of ICPs, conducting polymer hydrogels and their composites, as well as the unusual physicochemical properties, biocompatibility and multi-functionality of these materials, facilitate their bioapplications. The synergistic effects between constituents have made these materials particularly attractive as sensing elements for biological agents, and they also enable the immobilization of bioreceptors such as enzymes, antigen-antibodies, and nucleic acids onto their surfaces for the detection of an array of biological agents. Currently, these materials have unlimited applicability in biomedicine. In this review, we have limited discussion to three areas in which it seems that the use of ICPs and materials, including their different forms, are particularly interesting, namely, biosensors, delivery of drugs and tissue engineering.

“…In addition, when the oxidation is performed by chronoamperometry, similar charge quantity is measured during the oxidation of Cz (368 mC/cm 2 ) and during the oxidation of Cz1Me (410 mC/cm 2 ), Cz3Me (367 mC/cm 2 ), Cz5Me (369 mC/cm 2 ), and Cz7Me (376 mC/cm 2 ) indicating that the oxidation of these species takes place without particular difficulty for all of these monomers. In the review from Kapron and Lapkowski (2015) and in the pioneer works from Ambrose and Nelson (1968) dedicated to the electrochemistry of carbazoles, it is explained that the oxidation of Cz leads to the formation of the cation radical in a one electron process. As the cation radical is not stable, it tends to couple with another cation radical or a parent molecule (a loss of two protons accompanies this coupling) to form a more stable bicarbazyl (which can be either 3,3 ′ -bicarbazyl, the main product, or 9,9 ′ -bicarbazyl, the minor product).…”

Investigation of Polycarbazoles Thin Films Prepared by Electrochemical Oxidation of Synthesized Carbazole Derivatives

et al. 2019

Polycarbazole and its derivatives have advantages of good environmental stability, electrochromic properties and photoconductivity which have attracted considerable attention because of their potential industrial applications in electroluminescent applications, rechargeable batteries, and light emitting diodes. They have the possibility of different position substitution (carbon C 3-C 3 ' or N) that lead to different electropolymerization behaviors. However, the N position facilitates the grafting of various derivatives of interest and permits not to modify so much the radical cation formation during electropolymerization. In this paper, carbazole and its derivatives were electrochemically oxidized in acetonitrile solutions leading to the formation of thin polymer films. The morphological features and electrochemical properties of the as-formed polymer films were investigated in detail. Thanks to these experiments, the influence of the substitution on the properties of the polymer films was evidenced and discussed. In addition, fast electrochemistry experiments were carried out on platinum microelectrodes within 50-1,000 V/s scan speed range. Reactivity of carbazole derivatives radical cations and dimers was investigated through these experiments. Thermodynamic and kinetic information (e.g., redox standard potential, heterogeneous, and dimerization rate constants) was extracted after coupling with electrochemical simulations.
