Tissue engineering of electrically responsive tissues using polyaniline based polymers: A review

Strategies for the development of three dimensional scaffolds from piezoelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride)

“…The internal modulation mainly involves biomimetic modification of chemical, physical and/or biological properties in order to mimic the native tissue and provide a more friendly environment and enhance target functions such as adhesion, proliferation, migration and differentiation [8]. Among the most interesting clues to be provided to specific cells, such as mechanical [9] and (bio)chemical [10], electrical clues have already proven to be important in TE applications [11,12]. In that sense, piezoelectric polymers, materials that generate a voltage under mechanical loading without the need of electrodes or external power source, offer a unique opportunity to deliver electrical cues directly to cells [13].…”

Thermoresponsive polyaniline nanoparticles: Preparation, characterization, and their potential application in waterborne anticorrosion coatings

“…Intrinsically conducting polyaniline (PANI) has received great interest in the past decades owing to its reasonably good conductivity, special redox properties, low-cost monomers, easy preparation, good environmental stability, and biocompatibility [1][2][3]. These particular characteristics enable PANIs to be used in many potential applications, such as tissue engineering [3,4], anticorrosion coatings [5,6], supercapacitors [7,8], solar cells [9], and sensors [10].…”

Preparation and characterization of “clickable” polyaniline derivatives on graphene modified electrodes

“…Polyaniline (PANI) is one of the most important conducting polymers and has been intensively studied over the last three decades due to its easy preparation, good environmental stability, interesting redox properties and good electrical conductivity in its doped form, making it a great candidate for applications in several areas [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Nowadays, most of the aspects concerning the basic science behind PANI are well known and research is currently aimed towards the improvement of the performance of PANI-like materials for specific applications, either with PANI derivatives or hybrids with other high-performance materials like carbon nanotubes or graphene [7].…”
