Interfacing Electronic and Ionic Charge Transport in Bioelectronics

There is considerable interest in the design and development of conjugated polymers for interfacing a variety of electronic biomedical devices. These materials are able to accommodate both electronic and ionic transport. We discuss some of the issues associated with these materials, and consider opportunities for future developments. Pushing the boundaries: The design and development of conjugated polymers for interfacing a variety of electronic biomedical devices continues to garner a lot of research interest. These materials are able to accommodate both electronic and ionic transport, but there remains to be some issues associated with such materials, as discussed in this Concept article.
