Table 1.

Comparison of the conductive polymers used in different tissue regeneration. The Maximum conductivity, doping type, and material properties are listed for the main conductive polymers used in tissue regeneration.

Polymeric Material Maximum conductivity (S/cm) Types of doping Properties Applications
Polypyrrole (PPy) 40–200 P Highly conductive, opaque, Brittle, Amorphous structure Nerve, cardiac and Bone tissue engineering application
Polythiophene (PT) 10–100 P Good electrical conductivity and optical property Biosensors and Food Industry
Polyaniline (PANI) 5, bulk films (upto 100 S/m) n, p Semiflexible polymer requires simple doping/de-doping chemistry Nerve and Cardiac tissue engineering
