Why is it important?
What is interesting about these conducting polymer-based materials is that they have aligned pores which are similar to the natural structure of peripheral nerves that Schwann cells inhabit.
Perspectives
This was a chance for me to combine my training in synthetic/polymer/supramolecular chemistry, materials science and cell culture. We used sacrificial supracolloidal templates to generate the pores which gave a biomimetic structure to the tissue scaffolds, that were subsequently rendered conductive and used for cell culture.
