Abstract
Compositions and methods directed to the synthesis and use of silicon carbide with, biomedical applications is provided. The method of synthesis includes providing a polydimethysiloxane (PDM'S) substrate, and irradiating at least a portion of the substrate with a laser under conditions sufficient to produce silicon carbide comprising 3C silicon carbide (3C-Si€). The composition can be used to modulate biological activity through electrical, chemical and heat stimuli.
