Abstract
In one aspect, the present disclosure provides nano and microstructures of conducting polymers which may be used in the treatment of neuron regeneration. In some embodiments, the microstructures may be a microcup or a nanogroove structure. The present disclosure also provides methods of preparing the conducting polymer coated microstructures and methods of using these compositions or structures.
Claims18
A method of preparing a conducting polymer coated microstructure comprising:
- (A) obtaining a conductive surface and applying by electrospray a non-conductive polymer to obtain a non-conductive polymer coated surface;
- and
- (B) polymerizing a monomer using electrochemical polymerization to form a conductive polymer onto the non-conductive polymer coated surface to obtain a conductive polymer coated surface;
- wherein the conducting polymer coated microstructure is a sphere or cup.
