Abstract.
Interfacing materials with cells through specific ligand/receptor interactions, matching mechanical properties, and matching nanostructures are very critical in biomedical technologies. Recently, π-conjugated polymers have emerged for various related applications, ranging from biosensing to medical bionics. Many features of conducting polymers, including simplicity for nanostructure fabrication, tailored functional groups for bioconjugation, intrinsic electrical conductivity, and softer mechanical characteristics than metals, provide advantages as materials for cell-related diagnostic and therapeutic platforms as well as controlled cell engineering. Because of the molecular advantageous features of dioxythiophenes, we are particularly interested to develop general approaches for their polymeric nanostructures with various functional groups. We enlarged the dioxythiophene-based monomer library with a variety of molecular building blocks from biomimetic approaches. One specific area we are working on is cell engineering, particular interface between cells and electrical input/output. Herein, I would like to discuss our recent efforts on designing π-conjugated polymers for biomedical applications. Particularly, how the individual concepts can be accomplished by employing molecular and nanostructural concepts.
