Electroactive and electrically conductive polymers

which can ideally conduct bioelectrical signals in vivo

have shown potential applications in the culture of excitable cells and as electroactive scaffolds for neuronal or cardiac tissue engineering.In this paper

the new research progress of electroactive

biodegradable aniline oligomer grafted copolymers

block copolymers and cell culture were introduced.Recent progresses of electrospinning fibre are reviewed. The materials which are electroactive

remarkably biocompatible and biodegradable

were designed and synthesized by covalently grafting or block-copolymerizing aniline oligomers onto or with biodegradable polymers.The properties of these copolymers are promising for biomedical applications both in vitro and in vivo.Some potentially rewarding research directions are suggested.
