Chapter 1 experiments with and without applying electrical potentials, the dopped electroactive copolymers had the ability of improving the differentiation of PC-12 cells, as shown in Figure 1.5.11. They also prepared a new kind of water-soluble electroactive polymer, aniline pentamer cross-linked chitosan. These new polymers showed good electroactivity even in aqueous solution. The MTT assay, cell adhesion test, and degradation assessment in the presence of enzyme confirmed that these polymers had good biocompatibility and biodegradability. The electroactive polymers can obviously improve the neuronal differentiation of PC-12 cells even without the extra electrical stimulation, as shown in Figure1.5.12. Figure 1.5.12 Visualization of PC-12 neurite outgrowth by micrographs for the substrates (A) without electroactivity (chitosan), (B) with electroactivity (aniline pentamer cross-linked chitosan) on day 5. 139 A B As the study progressing, Chen et al. found that the oligomers without high conductivity and the polymers containing oligomers also showed improvement in the C6 cell differentiation in the absence of electrical stimulation, as shown in Figure 1.5.13. In the culture medium, the only difference from the electroactive polymers may be the exchange of the ion between the medium with polymer, and between the polymer with cells, which means the electroactivity changed the ion exchange between the cells and medium. ‐ 30 ‐

Besides the extensively investigated PPy and PANi, several electroactive polymers have been also studied, such as polythiophene (PT) and others. For example, a series of polymers composed of a PT backbone with oligosiloxane grafted to the b position of the thiophene rings was prepared. 140 All the polymers exhibited different conductivities after doped with iodine. However, the iodine is toxic to cells and the authors only investigated the biocompatibility of undoped polymers. The carbon-carbon bond of PT made it inherently nonbiodegradable. To overcome this drawback, some reports concentrated on the synthesis of biodegradable elcetroactive polymers containing heterocycles unit. For example, ester linkers were introduced to connect the conductive heterocycles (Figure. 1.5.14A). 96 The resulted polymer is conductive, and more importantly, it is biodegradable in the presence of esterases which made it be applicable in vivo. The conductivity of the polymer is mainly attributed to inter and intra “electron hopping” formed by the overlap of conjugated regions. However, the doping agent is also iodine. Despite this drawback, the undoped polymer was biocompatible in vitro. Nerve cells adhered to polymer film and readily expressed their nerve-like phenotype by extending neurites after one day (Figure 1.5.14B, left). After 8 days, significant cell proliferation was observed (Figure 1.5.14B, right). These data demonstrate that in addition to being non-toxic to cells in culture, this biodegradable electroactive polymer can also support cell attachment and proliferation. Subsequently, in vivo biocompatibility of this polymer was
