Abstract:
In one or more embodiments, the present invention provides a method of forming compact, flexible, stable and biocompatible conducting polymer coating for bioelectronics devices. In one or more embodiments, the present invention relates to a novel method of synthesizing a sulfobetaine-functionalized conjugated polymer platform using 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) as the conducting backbone (SBEDOT). This SBEDOT monomer is highly water-soluble and can be directly polymerized to form a densely packed film/coating on conductive or semi-conductive surfaces through electro-polymerization in a 100% aqueous solution without the need for organic solvents or surfactants. These polySBEDOT (PSBEDOT) coated surfaces have been shown to have electro-switchable antimicrobial/antifouling properties and excellent electrically conducting properties, which minimize infection, increase biocompatibility, and improve the performance of bioelectronics.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 1  wherein said conductive or semiconductive surface comprises a conductive or semiconductive material selected from the group consisting of steel, stainless steel, titanium, titanium alloys, aluminum, aluminum alloys, silicon, iridium tin oxide (ITO), gold, platinum, noble metals, and alloys and combinations thereof.
