Supercapacitive Polymer Electrodes for Directing Epithelial Repair
In this project we develop a new approach, using the conducting polymer poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (PEDOT) to apply electrical fields (EFs) for guidance of cells. EFs are recognised as important guidance cues in the development and life cycle of human tissues. However, better tools are urgently needed to support experiments and applications. By developing supercapacitive PEDOT electrodes, able to support an ionic flow over extended time frames, we here target the most widely studied clinical application for EF stimulation, accelerated wound healing. Our technology facilitates the transfer from petri dish to device by offering an alternative driving process to metals. In addition, we…
