UNLABELLED Conductive and electroactive polymers have the potential to enhance engineered cardiac tissue function. In this study, an interpenetrating network of the electrically-conductive polymer polypyrrole (PPy) was grown within a matrix of flexible polycaprolactone (PCL) and evaluated as a platform for directing the formation of functional cardiac cell sheets. PCL films were either treated ...

conducting polymers, because of their special properties, are used to introduce conductive polymeric composites. also, clays have recently been used for preparation of polymer composites with enhanced mechanical and thermal properties. the aim of this work is to study the synergetic effect of the co-presence of conducting polyaniline and montmorillonite in the polyethylene matrix. polyethylene ...

MODELING AND DATA ANALYSIS OF CONDUCTIVE POLYMER COMPOSITE SENSORS Hua Lei Department of Chemical Engineering Doctor of Philosophy Conductive polymer composite sensors have shown great potential in identifying gaseous analytes. To more thoroughly understand the physical and chemical mechanism of this type of sensors, a model was developed by combining two sub-models: a conductivity model and a ...

Introduction The discovery of the conductive properties of conjugated organic polymers in the late 1970s initiated intense investigations of their synthesis, chemistry and physical properties. Today, they are widely studied for various applications, e.g. optoelectronics in displays or organic solar cells. Beyond academic interest in the generation and properties of unusual nanostructures, nanop...

UNLABELLED In the present work, ion-conductive hybrid organic-inorganic polymers based on epoxy oligomer of diglycide aliphatic ester of polyethylene glycol (DEG) and lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) were synthesized. The effect of LiClO4 content on the electrophysical properties of epoxy polymers has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS...
