“…Polymers can also be as conductive as metals when the monomeric units can form in the polymer in a so called conjugated system [ 55 ]. In such a system, the polymeric chain backbone contains alternating double and single bonds [ 56 , 57 ]. This alternating structure enables overlapping p-orbitals in which the π-electrons are loosely bound and accordingly can flow as shown in Figure 1 of poly(acetylene) [ 58 ].…”

Electrically conductive materials that are fabricated based on natural polymers have seen significant interest in numerous applications, especially when advanced properties such as self-healing are introduced. In this article review, the hydrogels that are based on natural polymers containing electrically conductive medium were covered, while both irreversible and reversible cross-links are presented. Among the conductive media, a special focus was put on conductive polymers, such as polyaniline, polypyrrole, polyacetylene, and polythiophenes, which can be potentially synthesized from renewable resources. Preparation methods of the conductive irreversible hydrogels that are based on these conductive polymers were reported observing their electrical conductivity values by Siemens per centimeter (S/cm). Additionally, the self-healing systems that were already applied or applicable in electrically conductive hydrogels that are based on natural polymers were presented and classified based on non-covalent or covalent cross-links. The real-time healing, mechanical stability, and electrically conductive values were highlighted.

“…Of these articles, the majority are focused on the development of CPs for a variety of biological applications [4,13,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46], while few are focused on the synthesis of CPs to better interface with biosystems. More specifically, synthesis reviews have addressed biodegradable CPs [47,48], specific classes of CPs such as PEDOT [49][50][51] and poly(aniline) (PANI) [52], co-and graft CPs [47,53], and innovative CP syntheses [54,55]. None of these review articles have addressed the synthetic challenges of covalent, functional CP chemistry specifically for implantable devices in the body.…”

Conducting polymers (CPs) are organic semiconductors that have gained popularity in more recent years as components of bioelectronic devices designed to electrically communicate with biological environments. Synergy between the material and biological tissue, both on a structural and functional level, is paramount for the proper performance of an implantable biomedical device. As such, significant progress has been made on understanding the fundamental impact of the molecular and macro structure of CPs on their functional properties such as conductivity and charge mobility. At the same time, the development of a variety of synthetic approaches has yielded a library of CPs with improved mechanical and electronic properties. Specifically, chemical biofunctionalization of CP films has significantly decreased the foreign body response, the main contributor to device failure. Therefore, this review covers the advances and challenges made in the chemical biofunctionalization of CP films for potential implantable devices. This is achieved by covalently attaching the biocompatible or biofunctional group to the CP backbone via a reactive functional group to create a material with physical and electronic properties that better matches biological tissue. A perspective is presented that this synthetic chemistry approach to biofunctionalization is valuable for the integration of CPs into commercial implantable bioelectronic devices.
