“Organic Bioelectronic Interfaces Based on PEDOT:PSS-Based Crystalline Films, Microfibers, and Fibrillar Hydrogel”
In this research, we developed organic bioelectronic interfaces based on highly crystalline poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) films or microfibers to overcome the trade-off between electrical/electrochemical performance and aqueous stability. Crystalline PEDOT:PSS films exhibits excellent electrical/electrochemical/optical characteristics, long-term aqueous stability without film dissolution/delamination, and good viability for primarily cultured cardiomyocytes and neurons over several weeks. Furthermore, they are successfully employed for PEDOT:PSS-based multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) to record and stimulate the activities of primarily cultured cardiomyocytes and chicken retinae tissues. In parallel, we developed crystalline PEDOT:PSS microfibers for single-strand wearable electrochemical transistors, PEDOT:PSS-incorporated hydrogel microfibers for 3-D neuronal network reconstruct, and metal oxide transistor arrays for transparent direct cellular interfaces.
