ABSTRACT
Polymers play a major role in mimicking the extracellular matrix and thus can gradually be substituted as scaffolds for the regeneration and proliferation of cells and tissues. In this aspect, the customized polymers that are stimulated in the presence of different stimuli like electric field, ion concentration, and also possess good optical properties can be fabricated for tissue healing, recovery, regeneration of vital tissues and organs. These generalized properties of conducting polymers (CPs) are almost synonymous with inorganic semiconductors and metals and thus can be explored in the development of biomimetic devices as tissue scaffolds. The synthesis of CPs generally is done by chemical polymerization and electrochemical polymerization techniques. These polymers can be structured into supramolecular assembly with multifunctional capabilities. The human body is triggered in the presence of different stimuli like electric field, magnetic field, ionic concentration, and many more types of sensitizations and with this intention, the current chapter is designed by encompassing the basic properties of conductive polymers and their synthesis strategies focusing on the different categories of polymers used and their modifications as an effective scaffold for tissue or organ regeneration, along with the characterizations of such polymers for the biomedical aspects.
