ABSTRACT
I. INTRODUCTION In the past two decades the biomedical field has witnessed an exponential increase in the utilization of synthetic polymers and plastics-based products in various clinical and diagnostic areas. Electroactive polymers represent an interesting class of synthetic polymers that by virtue of their ability to function as electrochemical, electromechanical, and electro-optical transducers, can be utilized to interface between the external environment and the biological system both in vitro and in vivo.
