Currently, electrically conductive polymers are the subject of intense research as they present attractive materials with broad application potential in a number of sectors, including biomedicine. The same research has been underway at the Centre for Polymer Systems (CPS) of Tomas Bata University (TBU) in Zlín, where the respective group focuses on the preparation and characterization of biomaterials, especially for the functionalization of their surfaces. ‘Biomaterials’ refers to materials designed to come into contact with living organisms; modifying them with conductive polymers allows the creation of a conductive yet biocompatible surface, which can positively and specifically influence cell behaviour.
