Anal Chim Acta 2025; 1339:343610. [PMID: 39832880 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2025.343610] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2024] [Revised: 12/20/2024] [Accepted: 01/02/2025] [Indexed: 01/22/2025]
Abstract
Wearable microneedle array (MNA) based electrochemical sensors have gained increasing attention for their capability to analyze biomarkers in the interstitial fluid (ISF), enabling noninvasive, continuous monitoring of health parameters. However, challenges such as nonspecific adsorption of biomolecules on the sensor surfaces and the risk of infection at the microneedle penetration sites hinder their practical application. Herein, a wearable dual-layer microneedle patch was prepared to overcome these issues by integrating an antimicrobial microneedle layer with an antifouling sensing layer. The microneedle layer was prepared from polyvinyl alcohol, carboxylated nanocellulose, quaternary ammonium chitosan and carbon nanotubes, and it possessed antimicrobial and mechanical properties necessary for skin penetration, ISF collection and effective transmission to the sensing layer. The sensing layer was prepared from bacterial cellulose, epoxy propyl dimethyl dodecyl ammonium chloride, carbon nanotubes and gold nanoparticles, and it was capable of preventing biofouling and sensing uric acid (UA) in ISF. The wearable MNA based sensor exhibited a linear range of 0.5 μM - 2.5 μM and 9.6 μM - 2.15 mM for UA detection, with a limit of detection of 0.17 μM. Moreover, it was capable of accurately monitoring UA levels in ISF of mice without significant biofouling, as verified by the ELISA method. This innovative wearable sensor based on the MNA effectively balances the antifouling and antimicrobial functions, offering a reliable strategy for the assay of ISF, and making it a promising tool for personalized and decentralized health monitoring.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are promising candidates as oxygen photosensitizers, in cancer therapeutic applications due to their high quantum yield, superior chemical and photostability, low cytotoxicity and ease of chemical functionalization/tuning. Nitrogen doping can further improve oxygen photosensitization performance. Besides photodynamic therapy, however, the possibility to finely and remotely regulate the intracellular redox balance by using physical stimuli has been attracting more and more interest not only for nanotheranostic application, but also as a novel, fully biocompatible therapeutic tool. Here, we report on the synthesis of nitrogen-doped CDs by solvothermal methods starting from abundant, bioderived, low-cost precursors, and we characterize their interface with in vitro cultures of human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cells, a widely accepted model of non-tumoral cells. While not affecting cell proliferation, synthesized CDs efficiently modulate, under visible light and physiological eustress conditions, intracellular calcium ion dynamics and reactive oxygen species concentration, resulting in a 4-fold increase. The reported results may broaden the application of CDs beyond photodynamic therapy, unveiling new opportunities in the field of redox medicine assisted by carbon-based nanomaterials and optical stimulation.

Abstract
Implantable electrodes have been utilized for decades to stimulate, sense, or monitor a broad range of biological processes, with examples ranging from glucose monitoring devices to cochlear implants. While the underlying science related to the application of electrodes is a mature field, preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that there are still significant challenges in vivo associated with a lack of control over tissue-material interfacial interactions, especially over longer time frames. Herein we discuss the current challenges and opportunities for implantable electrodes and the associated bioelectronic interfaces across the clinical landscape with a focus on emerging technologies and the obstacles of biofouling, microbial colonization, and the foreign body response. Overcoming these challenges is predicted to open the door for a new generation of implantable medical devices and significant associated clinical impact. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Implantable electrodes have been utilised for decades to stimulate, sense, or monitor a broad range of biological processes, with examples ranging from glucose monitoring devices to cochlear implants. Next-generation bioelectronic implantable medical devices promise an explosion of new applications that have until this point in time been impossible to achieve. However, there are several persistent biological challenges hindering the realisation of these new applications. We present a clinical perspective on how these biological challenges have shaped the device market and clinical trial landscape. Specifically, we present statistical breakdowns of current device applications and discuss biofouling, the foreign body response, and microbial colonisation as the main factors that need to be addressed before a new generation of devices can be explored.

Abstract
Detecting medically important biomarkers in complex biological samples without prior treatment or extraction poses a major challenge in biomedical analysis. Electrochemical methods, specifically electrochemiluminescence (ECL), show potential due to their high sensitivity, minimal background noise, and straightforward operation. This study investigates the ECL performance of screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) modified with the conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and its derivatives for dopamine (DA) detection. PEDOT modification significantly enhances ECL intensity, improves sensitivity, and expands the linear range for DA detection. Functionalizing PEDOT with ethylene glycol (EG) further enhances stability, specificity, and resistance to interferences for DA detection. These modified SPEs demonstrate the linear range of 1-200 μM and a detection limit as low as 0.887 nM (S/N = 3), surpassing many previous studies using SPEs. Moreover, the PEDOT-EG4-OMe-modified SPEs can reliably detect DA in solutions with high protein concentrations or artificial cerebrospinal fluid. These results suggest that the PEDOT derivative-modified SPE can serve as reusable and sensitive DA sensors in complex biological environments, highlighting the potential of the ECL system for a range of challenging applications.

Abstract
With the recent unprecedented emergence of a global pandemic, unknown diseases and new metabolic patterns expressing serious health issues, the requirement to develop new diagnostic tools, therapeutic solutions, and healthcare and environmental monitoring systems are significantly higher in the present situation. Considering that high sensitivity, selectivity, stability and a low limit of detection (LOD) are inevitable requirements for an ideal biosensor, the class of conducting polymers of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and recently poly(3,4-propylenedioxythiophene) (PProDOT) materials have been demonstrated to be promising candidates for designing sensor devices. Nanostructure engineering of these polymeric materials with tunable surface properties and side chain functionalization to enable sensor probe conjugation combined with signal amplification devices such as OECTs and OFETs can fulfil the requirements of next-generation smart nano-biosensors. In this review, we analyze recent reports on PEDOT/PProDOT nanostructures and nanocomposites for developing nano-biosensors and their application in the detection of different biomarkers, environmental, toxicology, marine and aquatic monitoring, forensic and illicit drug detection, etc. In addition, we discuss the challenges associated with the design of PEDOT/PProDOT nano-biosensors and future perspectives on the exploration of novel sensor platforms, particularly PProDOT derivatives for bioelectronics and novel design strategies for next-generation smart nano-biosensors.

Abstract
Wearable electronics have become integral for monitoring physiological parameters in diverse applications, particularly in medical and military fields. e-Textiles, featuring integrated conductive threads or fabrics, offer seamless integration and comfort for prolonged contact with the body. Despite their potential, the biofouling of textile-based electrode systems by skin microbes remains a significant challenge, limiting their operational lifespan. Recent studies have highlighted the efficacy of conductive nanocomposites with antibacterial agents, such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), in addressing biofouling concerns. However, implementing such systems on 3D fibrous structures and textile surfaces often proves complex and inefficient. To overcome these challenges, we explored cold atmospheric plasma (CAP)-based in situ polymerization for the direct deposition of functional conductive polypyrrole-silver (PPy-Ag) nanocomposites onto conductive textile surfaces. For this process, a customized CAP deposition system was engineered, enabling precise material deposition through robotic control of the plasma jet. This process achieved direct, conformal attachment onto textile fibrous structures, ensuring uniform distribution of conductive polypyrrole and silver in the form of AgNPs throughout the polymer polypyrrole matrix without compromising fabric flexibility and breathability, which was validated through different surface electron microscopy and chemical analysis (e.g., EDX, FTIR, Raman, and XRD). Systematic studies with various precursor mixtures identified an optimized PPy-Ag composition that demonstrated stable antibacterial properties and biocompatibility against common skin microbes and epithelial cells. Systematic studies with various precursor mixtures identified an optimized PPy-Ag composition, with the precursor mixture containing 96 wt% pyrrole and 4 wt% AgNO3 weight ratios as the optimal surface coating process, demonstrating stable antibacterial properties and biocompatibility against common skin microbes and epithelial cells respectively. As a proof of concept, the nanocomposite coating was applied to conductive carbon fabric surfaces as dry electrodes in a wearable garment for continues electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring over 10 days. Results revealed a significantly longer performance of the dry electrodes as comparable to standard gel-based Ag/AgCl electrodes (1 day) while providing less noise in ECG signal measurements from the subject, showcasing the potential of this technology for practical wearable applications. Envisioned as a groundbreaking solution, this technology opens new avenues for the scalable and effective integration of functional conductive circuits and sensors into everyday garments, ensuring prolonged and efficient performance in wearable electronics.

Abstract
The antifouling properties of conductive polymers have received extensive attention for biosensor and bioelectronic applications. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a well-known antifouling material, but the controlled regulation of the surface topography of PEG without a template remains a challenge. Here, we show a columnar structure antifouling conductive polymer brush with enhanced antifouling properties and considerable conductivity. The method involves synthesizing the 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene monomer modified with azide (EDOT-N3), the electropolymerization of PEDOT-N3, and the in situ growth of PEG polymer brushes on PEDOT through double-click reactions. The resultant columnar structure polymer brush exhibits high electrical conductivity (3.5 Ω·cm2), ultrahigh antifouling property, electrochemical stability (capacitance retention was 93.8% after 2000 cycles of CV scans in serum), and biocompatibility.

Abstract
MXene is widely used in the construction of optoelectronic interfaces due to its excellent properties. However, the hydrophilicity and metastable surface of MXene lead to its oxidation behavior, resulting in the degradation of its various properties, which seriously limits its practical application. In this work, a 2D metal-organic framework (2D MOF) with matching 2D morphology, excellent stability performance, and outstanding optoelectronic performance is grown in situ on the MXene surface through heterojunction engineering to suppress the direct contact between reactive molecules and the inner layer material without affecting the original advantages of MXene. The photoelectric dual gain MXene@MOF heterojunction is confirmed. As a photoelectric material, its properties are highly suitable for the demand of interface sensitization layer materials of surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Therefore, using SPR as a platform for the application of this interface material, the performance of MXene@MOF and its potential mechanism to enhance SPR are analyzed in depth using experiments combined with simulation calculations (FDTD/DFT). Finally, the MXene@MOF/peptides-SPR sensor is constructed for rapid and sensitive detection of the cancer marker exosomes to explore its potential in practical applications. This work offers a forward-looking strategy for the design of interface materials with excellent photoelectric performance.

Abstract
Compositing has been the main approach for material creation via wisely combining material components with different properties. MnO2 nanosheets (MNSs) with thin 2 D morphology are usually applied to composite molecules or nanomaterials for biosensing and bioimaging applications. However, such composition is actually structurally unmatched, albeit performance matching. Here, a series of benefits merely on the basis of structural match have been unearthed via tailoring MNSs with four sizes by synthesis under controllable hypergravity field. The classical fluorophore-quencher couple was utilized as the subject model, where the soft supramolecular nanogels based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active gold nanoclusters were wrapped by MNSs of strong absorption. By comparative study of one-on-one wrapping and one-to-many encapsulation with geometrical selection of different MNSs, we found that the one-on-one wrapping model protected weakly-bonded nanogels from combination-induced distortion and strengthened nanogel networks via endowing exoskeleton. Besides, wrapping pattern and size-match significantly enhanced the quenching efficiency of MNSs towards the emissive nanogels. More importantly, the well-wrapped nanocomposites had considerable enhanced biological compatibility with much lower cytotoxicity and higher transfection capacity than the untailored MNSs composite and could serve as cellular glutathione detection.

Abstract
Self-sustained smart textiles require a miniaturized and flexible power source, while the state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery cannot be seamlessly integrated into smart textiles. Enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFC), utilizing physiological glucose or lactate as fuels to convert chemical energy into electricity, are a potential alternative power source. In comparison to other proposed energy harvesters relying on solar and biomechanical energy, EBFCs feature several key properties, including continuous power generation, biocompatible interfaces without using toxic elements, simple configuration without extra packaging, and biodegradability. There is an urgent need to introduce EBFCs to the researchers working on smart textiles, who typically are not expert on bioelectrochemistry. This minireview first introduces the working principle of EBFC and then summarizes its recent progress on fibers, yarns, and textiles. It's expected that this review can help to bridge the knowledge gap and provide the community of smart textiles with information on both the strengths and limitations of EBFCs.

Abstract
Bioelectronic devices are designed to translate biological information into electrical signals and vice versa, thereby bridging the gap between the living biological world and electronic systems. Among different types of bioelectronics devices, wearable and implantable biosensors are particularly important as they offer access to the physiological and biochemical activities of tissues and organs, which is significant in diagnosing and researching various medical conditions. Organic conducting and semiconducting materials, including conducting polymers (CPs) and graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), are some of the most promising candidates for wearable and implantable biosensors. Their unique electrical, electrochemical, and mechanical properties bring new possibilities to bioelectronics that could not be realized by utilizing metals- or silicon-based analogues. The use of organic- and carbon-based conductors in the development of wearable and implantable biosensors has emerged as a rapidly growing research field, with remarkable progress being made in recent years. The use of such materials addresses the issue of mismatched properties between biological tissues and electronic devices, as well as the improvement in the accuracy and fidelity of the transferred information. In this review, we highlight the most recent advances in this field and provide insights into organic and carbon-based (semi)conducting materials' properties and relate these to their applications in wearable/implantable biosensors. We also provide a perspective on the promising potential and exciting future developments of wearable/implantable biosensors.

Abstract
Laser-scribed graphene electrodes (LSGEs) are promising platforms for the development of electrochemical biosensors for point-of-care settings and continuous monitoring and wearable applications. However, the frequent occurrence of biofouling drastically reduces the sensitivity and selectivity of these devices, hampering their sensing performance. Herein, we describe a versatile, low-impedance, and robust antibiofouling interface based on sulfobetaine-zwitterionic moieties. The interface induces the formation of a hydration layer and exerts electrostatic repulsion, protecting the electrode surface from the nonspecific adsorption of various biofouling agents. We demonstrate through electrochemical and microscopy techniques that the modified electrode exhibits outstanding antifouling properties, preserving more than 90% of the original signal after 24 h of exposure to bovine serum albumin protein, HeLa cells, and Escherichia coli bacteria. The promising performance of this antifouling strategy suggests that it is a viable option for prolonging the lifetime of LSGEs-based sensors when operating on complex biological systems.

Abstract
The poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) interface, renowned for its biocompatibility and intrinsic conductivity, holds substantial potential in biosensing and cellular modulation. Through strategic functionalization, PEDOT derivatives can be adaptable for multifaceted applications. Notably, integrating phosphorylcholine (PC) groups into PEDOT, mimicking the hydrophilic headgroups from cell membranes, confers exceptional antifouling properties on the coating. This study systematically investigated biomolecule interactions with distinct forms of PEDOT, incorporating variations in surface modifications and structure. Zwitterionic PEDOT-PC was electropolymerized on smooth and nanostructured surfaces using various feeding ratios in electrolytes to finely control the antifouling properties of the interface. Precise electropolymerization conditions governed the attainment of smooth and nanostructured filamentous surfaces. The study employed a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) to assess protein binding behavior. Bovine serum albumin (BSA), lysozyme (LYZ), cytochrome c (cyt c), and fibronectin (FN) were used to evaluate their binding affinities for PEDOT films. FN, a pivotal extracellular matrix component, was included for connecting to cell adhesion behavior. Furthermore, the cellular adhesion behaviors on PEDOT interfaces were evaluated. Three cell lines─MG-63 osteosarcoma, HeLa cervical cancer, and fibroblast NIH/3T3 were examined. The presence of PC moieties significantly altered the adhesive response, including the number of attached cells, their morphologies, and nucleus shrinkage. MG-63 cells exhibited the highest tolerance for PC moieties. A feeding ratio of PEDOT-PC exceeding 70% resulted in cell apoptosis. This study contributes to understanding biomolecule adsorption on PEDOT surfaces of diverse morphologies and degrees of the antifouling moiety. Meanwhile, it also sheds light on the responses of various cell types.

Abstract
Surface biofouling induced by the undesired nonspecific adsorption of foulants (e.g., coexisting proteins and cells) in food matrices is a major issue of sensors for food analysis, hindering their reliability and accuracy of sensing. This issue can be addressed by developing antifouling strategies to prevent or alleviate nonspecific binding. Chemical antifouling strategies involve the use of chemical modifiers (i.e., antifouling materials) to strongly hydrate the surface and reduce surface biofouling. Through appropriate immobilization approaches, antifouling materials can be tethered onto sensors to form antifouling surfaces with well-ordered structures, balanced surface charges, and appropriate surface density and thickness. A rational antifouling surface can reduce the matrix effect, simplify sample pretreatment, and improve analytical performance. This review summarizes recent developments in chemical antifouling strategies in sensing. Surface antifouling mechanisms and common antifouling materials are described, and factors that may influence the antifouling effects of antifouling surfaces and approaches incorporating antifouling materials onto sensing surfaces are highlighted. Moreover, the specific applications of antifouling sensors in food analysis are introduced. Finally, we provide an outlook on future developments in antifouling sensors for food analysis.

Abstract
It is a great challenge to develop an effective super-sensitive capture method for multiplex heavy metal ions (HMIs), because HMIs is extremely toxic to public health and the environment, what's more their contamination is usually multiplex ions pollution. In this work, a 3D high-porous conductive polymer hydrogel was designed and prepared with high-stable and easy mass production, which is very favorable for the industrialization. The polymer hydrogel (g-C3N4-P(Ani-Py)-PAAM) was formed from the mixture of aniline pyrrole copolymer and acrylamide cross-linked with phytic acid as dopant and cross-linker and integrated with g-C3N4. The 3D networked high-porous hydrogel not only exhibits excellent electrical conductivity, but also provides a large surface area for increasing the number of immobilized ions. Importantly, the 3D high-porous conductive polymer hydrogel was applied successfully in electrochemical multiplex sensing of HIMs. The prepared sensor used differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry exhibited high sensitivities, low detection limit and wide detection ranges for Cd2+, Pb2+, Hg2+ and Cu2+, respectively. Moreover, the sensor showed a high accuracy in lake water test. The preparation and application of the hydrogel in electrochemical sensor provided an availability strategy to capture and detect the various HMIs by electrochemistry in solution and has great commercial application prospect.

Abstract
Hemodialysis, the most common modality of renal replacement therapy, is critically required to remove uremic toxins from the blood of patients with end-stage kidney disease. However, the chronic inflammation, oxidative stress as well as thrombosis induced by the long-term contact of hemoincompatible hollow-fiber membranes (HFMs) contribute to the increase in cardiovascular diseases and mortality in this patient population. This review first retrospectively analyzes the current clinical and laboratory research progress in improving the hemocompatibility of HFMs. Details on different HFMs currently in clinical use and their design are described. Subsequently, we elaborate on the adverse interactions between blood and HFMs, involving protein adsorption, platelet adhesion and activation, and the activation of immune and coagulation systems, and the focus is on how to improve the hemocompatibility of HFMs in these aspects. Finally, challenges and future perspectives for improving the hemocompatibility of HFMs are also discussed to promote the development and clinical application of new hemocompatible HFMs. Graphical Abstract

Abstract
Recently, the design of stimuli-responsive hydrogels for controlled drug delivery systems has been extensively investigated to meet therapeutic needs and optimize the release pattern of the drug. Being a natural polyelectrolyte, hyaluronic acid (HA) is excellent potential to generate new opportunities for electro-responsive drug carrier applications. In the current study, HA-based electroconductive hydrogel was developed as a novel smart drug carrier for anti-inflammatory drug release by the combination of in-situ and post polymerization mechanisms. HA was modified through methacrylation reaction to introduce photocrosslinkable groups into its structure and then reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was encapsulated into methacrylated HA (HA/MA) hydrogel by using the photopolymerization technique. In the post polymerization process, polyaniline (PANI) was incorporated/loaded into HA/MA-rGO polymeric network produced in previous step. The produced HA/MA-rGO-PANI hydrogel exhibited sufficient electrical conductivity providing the desirable electro-responsive ability for Ibuprofen (IBU) release. Furthermore, it has superior mechanical performance compared to pure (HA/MA) and rGO containing (HA/MA-rGO) hydrogels. IBU release from the hydrogel was successfully triggered by electrical stimulation and the cumulative drug release also enhanced by increasing of the applied voltage. These results highlighted that the novel HA/MA-rGO-PANI hydrogel could be a promising candidate for electrical-stimulated anti-inflammatory release systems in neural implant applications.

Abstract
Urinary tract infections caused by urinary catheter implantations are becoming more serious. Therefore, the construction of a responsive antibacterial biomaterial that can not only provide biocompatible conditions, but also effectively prevent the growth and metabolism of bacteria, is urgently needed. In this work, a benzophenone-derived phosphatase light-triggered antibacterial agent is designed and synthesized, which is tethered to the biological materials using a one-step method for in vivo antibacterial therapy. This surface could kill gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). More importantly, because this material exhibited a zwitterion structure, it does not damage blood cells and tissue cells. When the bacteria interact with this surface, the initial fouling of the bacteria is reduced by zwitterion hydration. When the bacteria actively accumulate and metabolize to produce a certain amount of alkaline phosphatase, the surface immediately started the sterilization performance, and the bactericidal effect is achieved by destroying the bacterial cell membrane. In summary, an antibacterial biomaterial that shows biocompatibility with mammalian cells is successfully constructed, providing new ideas for the development of intelligent urinary catheters.

Abstract
The challenge of infectious diseases remains a critical concern to the global public health. Recently, it is common to encounter touch-screen electronic devices everywhere to access services. The surface of such devices may easily get contaminated by an infected person, which leads to transmission of infectious diseases between individuals. Moreover, the challenge is complicated by surgical infections from implantable biomedical devices. Such problems can be minimized by the use of long-term active antimicrobial surface coatings. We present herein the preparation of novel electroactive antimicrobial surface coatings through the covalent attachment of the biguanide moiety onto 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT). The biguanide-functionalized EDOT (EDOT-BG) was thus electropolymerized on different substrates to give the corresponding poly(EDOT-BG) polymer. The poly(EDOT-BG) polymer showed an excellent bactericidal efficiency (∼92% bacterial death) and excellent biocompatibility with mammalian cells. Furthermore, the antimicrobial EDOT-BG was electro-copolymerized with antifouling tetra ethylene glycol functionalized-EDOT (EDOT-EG4) to give a multifunctional poly(EDOT-EG4-co-EDOT-BG) copolymer. The poly(EDOT-EG4-co-EDOT-BG) copolymer showed excellent resistance to protein adsorption and mammalian/bacterial cell binding without losing its bactericidal efficiency. These novel materials can be applied to domestic and bioelectronic devices to minimize infectious diseases.

Abstract
Conducting polymers (CPs) have gained attention as electrode materials in bioengineering mainly because of their mechanical softness compared to conventional inorganic materials. To achieve better performance and broaden bioelectronics applications, the surface modification of soft zwitterionic polymers with antifouling properties represents a facile approach to preventing unwanted nonspecific protein adsorption and improving biocompatibility. This feature article emphasizes the antifouling properties of zwitterionic CPs, accompanied by their molecular synthesis and surface modification methods and an analysis of the interfacial phenomenon. Herein, commonly used methods for zwitterionic functionalization on CPs are introduced, including the synthesis of zwitterionic moieties on CP molecules and postsurface modification, such as the grafting of zwitterionic polymer brushes. To analyze the chain conformation, the structure of bound water in the vicinity of zwitterionic CPs and biomolecule behavior, such as protein adsorption or cell adhesion, provide critical insights into the antifouling properties. Integrating these characterization techniques offers general guidelines and paves the way for designing new zwitterionic CPs for advanced biomedical applications. Recent advances in newly designed zwitterionic CP-based electrodes have demonstrated outstanding potential in modern biomedical applications.

Abstract
Implantable flexible neural interfaces (IfNIs) are capable of directly modulating signals of the central and peripheral nervous system by stimulating or recording the action potential. Despite outstanding results in acute experiments on animals and humans, their long-term biocompatibility is hampered by the effects of foreign body reactions that worsen electrical performance and cause tissue damage. We report on the fabrication of a polysaccharide nanostructured thin film as a coating of polyimide (PI)-based IfNIs. The layer-by-layer technique was used to coat the PI surface due to its versatility and ease of manufacturing. Two different LbL deposition techniques were tested and compared: dip coating and spin coating. Morphological and physiochemical characterization showed the presence of a very smooth and nanostructured thin film coating on the PI surface that remarkably enhanced surface hydrophilicity with respect to the bare PI surface for both the deposition techniques. However, spin coating offered more control over the fabrication properties, with the possibility to tune the coating's physiochemical and morphological properties. Overall, the proposed coating strategies allowed the deposition of a biocompatible nanostructured film onto the PI surface and could represent a valid tool to enhance long-term IfNI biocompatibility by improving tissue/electrode integration.

Abstract
The main task of the research is to acquire fundamental knowledge about the effect of polymer structure on the physicochemical properties of films. A novel meta-material that can be used in manufacturing sensor layers was developed as a model. At the first stage, poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PNaSS) cross-linked microspheres are synthesized (which are based on strong polyelectrolytes containing sulfo groups in each monomer unit), and at the second stage, PNaSS@PEDOT microspheres are formed. The poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) shell was obtained by the acid-assisted self-polymerization of the monomer; this process is biologically safe and thus suitable for biomedical applications. The suitability of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy for E. coli detection was tested; it was revealed that the attached bacterial wall was destroyed upon application of constant oxidation potential (higher than 0.5 V), which makes the PNaSS@PEDOT microsphere particles promising materials for the development of antifouling coatings. Furthermore, under open-circuit conditions, the walls of E. coli bacteria were not destroyed, which opens up the possibility of employing such meta-materials as sensor films. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, water contact angle, and wide-angle X-ray diffraction methods were applied in order to characterize the PNaSS@PEDOT films.

Abstract
Polymers with different structures and morphology have been extensively used to construct functionalized surfaces for a wide range of applications because the physicochemical properties of polymers can be finely adjusted by their molecular weights, polydispersity and configurations, as well as the chemical structures and natures of monomers. In particular, the specific functions of polymers can be easily achieved at post-synthesis by the attachment of different kinds of active molecules such as recognition ligand, peptides, aptamers and antibodies. In this review, the recent advances in the bioanalytical and biomedical applications of polymer modified substrates were summarized with subsections on functionalization using branched polymers, polymer brushes and polymer hydrogels. The review focuses on their applications as biosensors with excellent analytical performance and/or as nonfouling surfaces with efficient antibacterial activity. Finally, we discuss the perspectives and future directions of polymer modified substrates in the development of biodevices for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases.

Abstract
Conducting polymers (CPs) are of great interests to researchers around the world in biomedical applications owing to their unique electrical and mechanical properties. Besides, they are easy to fabricate and have long-term stability. These features make CPs a powerful building block of modern biomaterials. Peptide functionalization has been a versatile tool for the development of CP-based biomaterials. With the aid of peptide modifications, the biocompatibility, target selectivity, and cellular interactions of CPs can be greatly improved. Reflecting these aspects, an increasing number of studies on peptide-integrated conducting polymers have been reported recently. In this review, various kinds of peptide immobilization strategies on CPs are introduced. Moreover, the aims of peptide modification are discussed in three aspects: enhancing the specific selectivity, avoiding nonspecific adhesion, and mimicking the environment of extracellular matrix. We highlighted recent studies in the applications of peptide-integrated CPs in electrochemical sensors, antifouling surfaces, and conductive biointerfaces. These studies have shown great potentials from the integration of peptide and CPs as a versatile platform for advanced biological and clinical applications in the near future.

Abstract
Water is ubiquitous in life - from making up the majority of the Earth's surface (by area) to over half of the human body (by weight). It stands to reason that materials are likely to contact water at some point during their lifetime. In the specific case of sensors however, there is a need to consider materials that display stable function while immersed in aqueous applications. This mini-review will discuss the most recent advances (2018 to 2021) in the application of the conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) in aqueous environments. At its heart, the use of PEDOT in aqueous applications relies on nanoscale understanding and/or nanoengineered structures and properties. This enables their use in water-based settings such as within the human body or buried in agricultural soils.

Abstract
Two-dimensional metal organic framework (2D MOF Cu-TCPP) with significantly enhanced photoelectric properties was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The π-stacked electroactive porphyrin molecules of TCPP-based 2D MOF carry out charge transport in the MOF structure. The d-d band transition of Cu2+ and its 2D ultra-thin characteristics can produce excellent near-infrared light absorption to couple with SPR. Three key parameters including the refractive index sensitivity, detection accuracy and quality factor were improved significantly for 2D MOF modified gold chips. Especially, the refractive index sensitivity was increased from 98 to 137.67°/RIU after modified with 2D MOF. Thus, for the first time, we applied it as a signal enhancer to improve direct SPR assay for the Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) exosomes. Owning to its large specific surface area, excellent photoelectric properties, highly ordered structure, good dispersion and biocompatibility, the LOD of the SPR sensor was 16.7 particles/mL. The reliability and practicability were further validated by analysis of PD-L1 exosomes in human serum samples. The recovery rate was 93.43 %-102.35%, with RSD of 5.79 %-14.6%. Given their excellent signal amplification ability, 2D MOF Cu-TCPP could serve as an ideal SPR sensitizer for rapid and sensitive detection of trace disease markers.

Abstract
The use of anti-biofouling polymers has widespread potential for counteracting marine, medical, and industrial biofouling. The anti-biofouling action is usually related to the degree of surface wettability. This review is focusing on anti-biofouling polymers with special surface wettability, and it will provide a new perspective to promote the development of anti-biofouling polymers for biomedical applications. Firstly, current anti-biofouling strategies are discussed followed by a comprehensive review of anti-biofouling polymers with specific types of surface wettability, including superhydrophilicity, hydrophilicity, and hydrophobicity. We then summarize the applications of anti-biofouling polymers with specific surface wettability in typical biomedical fields both in vivo and in vitro, such as cardiology, ophthalmology, and nephrology. Finally, the challenges and directions of the development of anti-biofouling polymers with special surface wettability are discussed. It is helpful for future researchers to choose suitable anti-biofouling polymers with special surface wettability for specific biomedical applications.

Abstract
A conducting nanocomposite hydrogel is developed for the detection of L-lactate. The hydrogel is based on a mixture of alginate (Alg) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), which is loaded with gold nanoparticles (GNP). In this novel hydrogel, Alg provides 3D structural support and flexibility, PEDOT confers conductivity and sensing capacity, and GNP provides signal amplification with respect to simple voltammetric and chronoamperometric response. The synergistic combination of the properties provided by each component results in a new flexible nanocomposite with outstanding capacity to detect hydrogen peroxide, which has been used to detect the oxidation of L-lactate. The hydrogel detects hydrogen peroxide with linear response and limits of detection of 0.91 μM and 0.02 μM by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry, respectively. The hydrogel is functionalized with lactate oxidase, which catalyzes the oxidation of L-lactate to pyruvate, forming hydrogen peroxide. For L-lactate detection, the functionalized biosensor works in two linear regimes, one for concentrations lower than 5 mM with a limit of detection of 0.4 mM, and the other for concentrations up to 100 mM with a limit of detection of 3.5 mM. Because of its linear range interval, the developed biosensor could be suitable for a wide number of biological fluids.

Abstract
The surface modification of soft zwitterionic polymer brushes with antifouling properties represents a facile approach to enhancing the performance of bioelectronics. Ionic strength and applied potentials play a crucial role in controlling polymer brushes' conformation and hydration states. In this study, we quantitatively investigated and compared poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) and poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) brushes at different salt concentrations and applied surface potentials. Initiator-containing poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) films (poly(EDOT-Br)) were prepared by electropolymerization. After the conducting polymer was deposited, polymer brushes grew from the electrode surface through surface-initiated atom-transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). Polymer brushes were carefully characterized for their surface morphologies using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The force volume method measured using AFM enabled the analysis of the Young's modulus of the two polymer brushes. Hydration states and protein binding behaviors of polymer brushes were examined using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D). We further integrated a potentiostat with the QCM-D to conduct an electrochemical QCM-D study. The energy dissipation and frequency changes corresponded to the ion adsorption on the film surface under different ionic strengths. The results of both hydration states and nonspecific protein binding behavior indicate that PMPC brushes have greater ionic strength independency, implying the conformation of the unchanged PMPC brushes. Moreover, we illustrated how the surface potential influences nonspecific and specific binding behavior on PMPC brushes on PEDOT films compared with electrified poly(EDOT-PC) electrodes. We concluded that PMPC brushes exhibit unique behaviors that are barely affected by ion concentration, and that the brushes' modification results in less influence by surface potential due to the finite Debye length influencing the electrode surface to outer environment in an NaCl aqueous solution.

Abstract
Poly-m-chloroaniline has been synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization of m-chloroaniline and confirmed by spectroscopic studies. Powder X-ray diffraction and FESEM studies confirmed ordered arrangement in poly-m-chloroaniline. The peak at lower angle such as 7.09° having d spacing of 12.53 Å shows ordered structure of PmClA which was further confirmed by layered morphology in the FESEM images. FTIR spectra confirm the stretching and vibration mode of polymeric m-chloroaniline ring. BET surface area and pore diameter of PmClA were found to be 121 m2/g and 15.184 nm. Poly-m-chloroaniline was found to have better adsorption capacity toward anionic dyes over cationic dyes. The anionic dye (IC and EY) was 98 and 99% removed in just 25 min, whereas the cationic dye (MG and Rh6G) was 87 and 83% removed in 30 min. Langmuir adsorption isotherm model and pseudo second-order kinetic equation fitted the data best. Mechanism of adsorption has also been proposed. This is suggested that polymeric materials can be used for purification of water. The reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to amino compounds using organocatalyst has been done for the first time.

Abstract
A facile strategy for the electrochemical detection of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), a breast cancer biomarker, was presented via the fabrication of an antifouling sensing interface based on the conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and a biocompatible peptide hydrogel. The peptide hydrogel prepared from a designed short peptide of Phe-Glu-Lys-Phe functionalized with a fluorene methoxycarbonyl group (Fmoc-FEKF) enabled excellent activity preservation for the immobilized biomolecules, and its good hydrophilicity facilitated effective alleviation of nonspecific adsorption or biofouling, while the PEDOT film provided a highly stable and conducting substrate. The developed biosensor was highly sensitive and selective for HER2 detection, with a wide linear response range from 0.1 ng mL-1 to 1.0 μg mL-1 and a low limit of detection of 45 pg mL-1. Moreover, the peptide hydrogel based biosensor was feasible to use for complex biological samples, and it was capable of detecting HER2 in human serum with clinically acceptable accuracy, manifesting a promising potential for practical application.

Abstract
Strong nonspecific protein/cell adhesion on conducting polymer (CP)-based bioelectronic devices can cause an increase in the impedance or the malfunction of the devices. Incorporating oligo(ethylene glycol) or zwitterionic functionalities with CPs has demonstrated superior performance in the reduction of nonspecific adhesion. However, there is no report on the evaluation of the antifouling stability of oligo(ethylene glycol) and zwitterion-functionalized CPs under electrical stimulation as a simulation of the real situation of device operation. Moreover, there is a lack of understanding of the correlation between the molecular structure of antifouling CPs and the antifouling and electrochemical stabilities of the CP-based electrodes. To address the aforementioned issue, we fabricated a platform with antifouling poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) featuring tri(ethylene glycol), tetra(ethylene glycol), sulfobetaine, or phosphorylcholine (PEDOT-PC) to evaluate the stability of the antifouling/electrochemical properties of antifouling PEDOTs before and after electrical stimulation. The results reveal that the PEDOT-PC electrode not only exhibits good electrochemical stability, low impedance, and small voltage excursion, but also shows excellent resistance toward proteins and HAPI microglial cells, as a cell model of inflammation, after the electrical stimulation. The stable antifouling/electrochemical properties of zwitterionic PEDOT-PC may aid its diverse applications in bioelectronic devices in the future.

Abstract
The ongoing worldwide pandemic due to COVID-19 has created awareness toward ensuring best practices to avoid the spread of microorganisms. In this regard, the research on creating a surface which destroys or inhibits the adherence of microbial/viral entities has gained renewed interest. Although many research reports are available on the antibacterial materials or coatings, there is a relatively small amount of data available on the use of antiviral materials. However, with more research geared toward this area, new information is being added to the literature every day. The combination of antibacterial and antiviral chemical entities represents a potentially path-breaking intervention to mitigate the spread of disease-causing agents. In this review, we have surveyed antibacterial and antiviral materials of various classes such as small-molecule organics, synthetic and biodegradable polymers, silver, TiO2, and copper-derived chemicals. The surface protection mechanisms of the materials against the pathogen colonies are discussed in detail, which highlights the key differences that could determine the parameters that would govern the future development of advanced antibacterial and antiviral materials and surfaces.

Abstract
In many biological systems, pH can be used as a parameter to understand and study cell dynamics. However, measuring pH in live cell culture is limited by the sensor ion specificity, proximity to the cell surface, and scalability. Commercially available pH sensors are difficult to integrate into a small-scale cell culture system due to their size and are not cost-effective for disposable use. We made PHAIR-a new pH sensor that uses a micro-wire format to measure pH in vitro human airway cell culture. Tungsten micro-wires were used as the working electrodes, and silver micro-wires with a silver/silver chloride coating were used as a pseudo reference electrode. pH sensitivity, in a wide and narrow range, and stability of these sensors were tested in common standard buffer solutions as well as in culture media of human airway epithelial cells grown at the air-liquid interface in a 24 well cell culture plate. When measuring the pH of cells grown under basal and challenge conditions using PHAIR, cell viability and cytokine responses were not affected. Our results confirm that micro-wire-based sensors have the capacity for miniaturization and detection of diverse ions while maintaining sensitivity. This suggests the broad application of PHAIR in various biological experimental settings.

Abstract
Conductive thin films have great potential for application in the biomedical field. Herein, we designed thermoresponsive and conductive thin films with hydrophilicity, strain sensing, and biocompatibility. The crosslinked dense thin films were synthesized and prepared through a Schiff base reaction and ionic interaction from dialdehyde polyurethane, N-carboxyethyl chitosan, and double-bonded chitosan grafted polypyrrole. The thin films were air-dried under room temperature. These thin films showed hydrophilicity and conductivity (above 2.50 mS/cm) as well as responsiveness to the deformation. The tensile break strength (9.72 MPa to 15.07 MPa) and tensile elongation (5.76% to 12.77%) of conductive thin films were enhanced by heating them from 25 °C to 50 °C. In addition, neural stem cells cultured on the conductive thin films showed cell clustering, proliferation, and differentiation. The application of the materials as a conductive surface coating was verified by different coating strategies. The conductive thin films are potential candidates for surface modification and biocompatible polymer coating.

Abstract
This work reports the use of conjugated polymer nanostructures (CPNs) as photoactivated antimicrobial compounds against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. Two representative CPNs of polythiophene (PEDOT) and polyaniline (PANI) were prepared as nanofibres with an average diameter of 40 nm and length in the micrometer range. Both CPNs exhibited strong antimicrobial activity under UVA irradiation with the same fluence rate as the UVA component of the solar spectrum. The effect was tested using the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. The reduction of colony forming units (CFUs) reached >6 log for PEDOT concentrations as low as 33 ng mL-1. For PEDOT nanofibers, a complete inhibition of S. aureus and E. coli growth was reached at 883 ng mL-1 and 333 ng mL-1 respectively. The photoactivation effect of PANI nanofibres on S. aureus and E. coli was also high, with a CFU reduction of about 7 log and 4 log respectively for an exposure concentration of 33 ng mL-1. The antimicrobial activity was only high under light irradiation and was almost negligible for bulk PEDOT and PANI. The effect of polymeric nanofibers could be attributed to the photoinduced generation of reactive oxygen species, which may induce cell membrane damage, eventually leading to bacterial impairment and inhibition of their biofilm forming capacity. CPN PEDOT and PANI coatings were able to keep surfaces free of bacterial attachment and growth even after 20 h of previous contact with exponentially growing cultures in the dark. PEDOT and PANI CPNs demonstrated good cytocompatibility with human fibroblasts and the absence of hemolytic activity. The materials demonstrated advantages in terms of broad antibacterial spectrum, biofilm inhibition, and the absence of acute toxicity for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Polypyrrole (PPy) is a promising conducting polymer in bone regeneration; however, due to the biological inertia of the PPy surface, it has poor cell affinity and bioactivity. Based on the excellent adhesion capacity, biocompatibility, and bioactivity of polydopamine (PDA), the PDA is used as a functional coating in tissue repair and regeneration. Herein, we used a two-step method to construct a functional conductive coating of polypyrrole/polydopamine (PPy/PDA) nanocomposite for bone regeneration. PPy nanowires (NWs) are used as the morphologic support layer, and a layer of highly bioactive PDA is introduced on the surface of PPy NWs by solution oxidation. By controlling the depositing time of PDA within 5 h, the damage of nano morphology and conductivity of the PPy NWs caused by the coverage of PDA deposition layer can be effectively avoided, and the thin PDA layer also significantly improve the hydrophilicity, adhesion, and biological activity of PPy NWs coating. The PPy/PDA NWs coating performs better biocombaitibility and bioactivity than pure PPy NWs and PDA, and has benefits for the adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells cultured on the surface. In addition, PPy/PDA NWs can significantly promote the osteogenesis of MC3T3-E1 in combination with micro galvanostatic electrical stimulation (ES).

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive biomaterials have attracted significant attention for the construction of on-demand drug release systems. The possibility of using external stimulation to trigger drug release is particularly enticing for hydrophobic compounds, which are not easily released by simple diffusion. In this work, an electrochemically active hydrogel, which has been prepared by gelling a mixture of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and alginate (Alg), has been loaded with curcumin (CUR), a hydrophobic drug with a wide spectrum of clinical applications. The PEDOT/Alg hydrogel is electrochemically active and organizes as segregated PEDOT- and Alg-rich domains, explaining its behavior as an electroresponsive drug delivery system. When loaded with CUR, the hydrogel demonstrates a controlled drug release upon application of a negative electrical voltage. Comparison with the release profiles obtained applying a positive voltage and in the absence of electrical stimuli indicates that the release mechanism dominating this system is complex because of not only the intermolecular interactions between the drug and the polymeric network but also the loading of a hydrophobic drug in a water-containing delivery system.
