Analysis of a poly(ε-decalactone)/silver nanowire composite as an electrically conducting neural interface biomaterial
Krukiewicz, Katarzyna; Fernandez, Jorge; Skorupa, Małgorzata; Więcławska, Daria; Poudel, Anup; Sarasua, Jose-Ramon; Quinlan, Leo R.; Biggs, Manus J. P. (BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2019-04-15)Advancement in polymer technologies, facilitated predominantly through chemical engineering approaches or through the identification and utilization of novel renewable resources, has been a steady focus of biomaterials ... -
Chirality-sorted carbon nanotube films as high capacity electrode materials
Krukiewicz, Katarzyna; Krzywiecki, Maciej; Biggs, Manus J. P.; Janas, Dawid (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-08-30)Carbon nanomaterials show great promise for a wide range of applications due to their excellent physicochemical and electrical properties. Since their discovery, the state-of-the-art has expanded the scope of their application ... -
Electrodeposited poly(3,4-ethylenedioxypyrrole) films as neural interfaces: Cytocompatibility and electrochemical studies
Krukiewicz, Katarzyna; Kowalik, Agnieszka; Czerwinska-Glowka, Dominika; Biggs, Manus J. P. (Elsevier, 2019-02-06)Conducting polymers have been extensively reported as promising coating materials for applications involving interactions with electrically excitable tissues. Specifically, metal electrodes functionalized with conducting ... -
In vitro attenuation of astrocyte activation and neuroinflammation through ibuprofen-doping of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxypyrrole) formulations
Krukiewicz, Katarzyna; Kowalik, Agnieszka; Turczyn, Roman; Biggs, Manus J. P. (Elsevier, 2020-04-08)Neuroinflammation is often associated with poor functional recovery and may contribute to or initiate the development of severe neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease. Ibuprofen ... -
Low resistance, highly corrugated structures based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with a d-glucopyranoside-derived ionic liquid
Krukiewicz, Katarzyna; Kobus, Dominika; Turczyn, Roman; Erfurt, Karol; Chrobok, Anna; Biggs, Manus J. P. (Elsevier, 2019-12-02)Conjugated polymers have gained significant interest as highly conducting organic materials with versatile surface morphology. In this study, we demonstrate that the electrodeposition of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), ... -
Self-supporting carbon nanotube films as flexible neural interfaces
Krukiewicz, Katarzyna; Janas, Dawid; Vallejo-Giraldo, Catalina; Biggs, Manus J. P. (Elsevier, 2018-10-26)Advances in neural interface technologies have sought to identify electroactive materials that are able to translate neural depolarisation events into digital signals or modulate neural firing through ionic or electrical ... -
The synergistic effects of gold particles and dexamethasone on the electrochemical and biological performance of PEDOT neural interfaces
Krukiewicz, Katarzyna; Chudy, Magdalena; Gregg, Stephen; Biggs, Manus J. P. (MDPI, 2019-01-05)Although neural devices have shown efficacy in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, their functionality is limited by the inflammatory state and glial scar formation associated with chronic implantation. The aim ...
