The latest article ‘In Situ Functionalization of Polar Polythiophene-Based Organic Electrochemical Transistor to Interface In Vitro Models‘ has been published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
In our latest research, we present the new conjugated polymer p(g42T-T)-8% OH, a promising material for simplifying the interface between biological systems and electronics. This polymer contains hydroxyl groups, enabling straightforward chemical modifications to control cell adhesion and growth on its surface. We demonstrate the fabrication of organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) using p(g42T-T)-8% OH, which were successfully employed to monitor the formation of cell barriers in vitro. This research provides a valuable tool for studying biological systems and offers a pathway for developing customizable bioelectronic devices that more effectively interface with biological tissues.
