  2. 1. Conjugated Polymers for Neural Interfaces : Prospects, possibilities and future challenges

    Author : Maria Asplund; Hans von Holst; Olle Inganäs; Thomas Stieglitz; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; neuroprosthetics; conjugated polymers; conducting polymers; PEDOT; functional electrical stimulation; neural electrodes; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Functional materials; Funktionella material;

    Abstract : Within the field of neuroprosthetics the possibility to use implanted electrodes for communication with the nervous system is explored. Much effort is put into the material aspects of the electrode implant to increase charge injection capacity, suppress foreign body response and build micro sized electrode arrays allowing close contact with neurons.

  7. 5. Functional Degradable Polymers : from the monomeric point of view

    Author : Peter Olsén; Ann-Christine Albertsson; Karin Docent; Andrew Dove; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Degradable polymers is key, within the future vison, of creating a sustainable society were all aspects, cradle to grave, can be realized in a sustainable way. It is imperative to consider, how the monomer is formed, its polymerization, the material properties created and the final degradation behavior. READ MORE
