摘要: Conductive polymers (CPs) are frequently used as neural and osteogenic implants for signal recording electrical stimulation due to their electroactive good biocompatibility. However, these often fail bacterial infection. In this research, a novel nano-functionalized polypyrrole (PPy) with high surface potential was electrochemically developed improve the antibacterial properties of CPs. Sulfosalicylic acid (SSA)—a biomolecule abundant negatively charged functional groups—was introduced not only successfully assist in assembly Py micelles into extracellular matrix mimetic nanostructure, but also modulate PPy. Scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (SKPM) results confirm increased positive charges on SSA-assisted PPy (PPy/SSA nanorod irregular PPy/SSA film) relative PPy/Cl film. Plate colony-counting experiments that has excellent The higher rate nanorods suggests synergistic effect via structure induced by dopants. Cytotoxicity testing demonstrates samples were nontoxic cells. Our work provides an effective way develop
