ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to summarize the recent progress of conducting polymers (CP) – based on biocomposites in stretchable and effective bioelectronics applications. Inherently the characteristics and properties of CP are well known for their outstanding potential in bioelectronics. Here, various synthesis and fabrication strategies are explored for widely used CP, their design, and modifications are highlighted with recent progress in biomedical applications. Also, issues that limit the use of CP such as processability, mechanical stability, conductivity, chemical property, resistivity, sensitivity, toxicity, and degradability have been addressed. Furthermore, biocomposite combinations to enhance the CP's environmental stability and nano/microstructured morphology and architecture have been discussed briefly. The most recent progress in CP-based biocomposites provided a clear background, understanding, and limitations for future flexible bioelectronics.
