Biomimetic sensing layer based on electrospun conductive polymer webs

Biomimetic sensing layer based on electrospun conductive polymer webs.

The aim of the present study is to combine a bio-inspired nanofibrous artificial epithelium to the electronic nose (e-nose) principles. The sensing device set up was an electronic nose consisting of an array of 9 micro-chemoresistors (Cr-Au, 3×3) coated with electrospun nanofibrous structures. These were comprised of doped polyemeraldine base blended with 3 different polymers: polyethylene oxid...

Collagen-based layer-by-layer coating on electrospun polymer scaffolds.

Preparation of microfibre constructs of collagen by electrospinning has been problematic due to the instability of collagen in volatile solvents, such as 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol, so that electrospinning leads to a substantial amount of gelatin fibres. In the present study we have demonstrated the production of collagen-based microfibre constructs by use of a layer-by-layer coating pro...

Biomimetic Sensing – Actuators Based on Conducting Polymers

Characterization of Conductive Polymer Inks based on PEDOT:PSS

The main driving force for implementation of printing in manufacture of flexible electronics is the possibility to reduce the cost by high speed R2R processing at ambient conditions. This work focuses on characterization of inks that can be used to print simple components or layers for various applications in electronics. More specifically, inks containing conductive polymer, poly(3,4ethylenedi...
