Organic conductive polymers offer an ideal solution for interfacing with biological systems due to their unique capacity to transport both electronic and ionic charges, along with mechanical properties that align with those of tissues and cells. They represent a promising avenue for therapeutic innovation, potentially addressing the challenge of remodulating neural circuits and signaling in neurological diseases. When incorporated into cell membranes can produce a remodeling of the membrane properties, and if directly synthesized in living tissues, reduce impedance.[1-3]
Here we utilize the capability of bis-ethylenedioxythiophene-thiophene (ETE) monomers to be enzymatically polymerized in situ,[4] to create, through non- covalent interactions, seamless interfaces between conductive polymers and lipid membranes, in both synthetic models and living cells. [5, manuscript in preparation] A variety of experimental techniques is employed to examine both the morphological and electrical properties of these interfaces and the impact of the assembled polymer on cell behavior.
These findings suggest that these materials have the potential to serve as the foundation for innovative strategies for in vivo neural therapeutics, while also broadening our comprehension of the emerging field of in situ-fabricated bioelectronics.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
