“…5,6 Stimuli-responsive materials have been used in the development of drug delivery systems (DDSs) that can control drug release using endogenous stimuli (e.g., enzymes, pH, etc.) 7−9 and exogenous stimuli (e.g., electric fields, 10,11 infrared (IR), 12,13 light, 14,15 magnetism, 16,17 radiation, 18 temperature, 19 and ultrasound, 16 to name a few), 20 with a model DDS allowing control of the location and dosage of the drug, 8,21 Electroactive polymers (EAPs) are a class of stimuliresponsive polymers with a variety of technical and medical applications, with popular nondegradable examples including, but not limited to, polyaniline, polypyrrole, and poly(3,4ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). 11,22−24 The integration of nondegradable EAPs in medical devices, such as electrodes for sensing/stimulation, offers opportunities to optimize tissue− electrode interactions, such as their mechanical properties (minimizing mechanical mismatch) or the impedance of the electrodes (enhancing the longevity of function).…”
