Smart conductive materials are developed in regenerative medicine to promote a controlled release profile of charged bioactive agents in the vicinity of implants. The incorporation and the active electrochemical release of the charged compounds into the organic conductive coating is achieved due to its intrinsic electrical properties. The anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone was added during the polymerization, and its subsequent release at therapeutic doses was reached by electrical stimulation. In this work, a Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): κ-carrageenan: dexamethasone film was prepared, and κ-carrageenan was incorporated to keep the electrochemical and physical stability of the electroactive matrix. The presence of κ-carrageenan and dexamethasone in the conductive film was confirmed by µ-Raman spectroscopy and their effect in the topographic was studied using profilometry. The dexamethasone release process was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and High-Resolution mass spectrometry. In conclusion, κ-carrageenan as a doping agent improves the electrical properties of the conductive layer allowing the release of dexamethasone at therapeutic levels by electrochemical stimulation, providing a stable system to be used in organic bioelectronics systems.

This study investigates the effect of oxalic acid at different concentrations as doping agent on the electrical properties of polyaniline (PANI). The polymerization of aniline to produce PANI was carried out in media containing oxalic acid at 0.08 M, 0.09 M, 0.1 M, 0.2 M and 0.3 M in the presence of ammonium persulphate as oxidizing agent. The successful formation of PANI doped with oxalic acid was confirmed by FTIR and the morphology studied using XRD. An impedance investigation on the series of PANI formed revealed that doping in 0.1M oxalic acid produced PANI of the highest conductivity of 2.52 x 10-6 Scm-1.

A controlled release composite has been prepared by intercalation of sodium paeonolsilate (PAS) into Mg/Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) with the molar ratio (M2+/M3+) of 2:1. The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirm the intercalation of PAS into the galleries of LDH. The chemical composites of PAS-LDH were revealed by elemental analysis. Release tests of the PAS-LDH composite showed that no burst release phenomenon occurred at the beginning stage and a high release ratio of PAS (89.8%) was obtained, exhibiting controlled release behavior. Furthermore, the parabolic diffusion model was used to simulate the release kinetics of PAS from the LDH carrier, indicating that the intraparticle diffusion via ion-exchange is the rate-determining step in the release process. It is significance in this work for introducing the PAS-LDH composite to develop antifouling materials with long-term activity.

ABSTRACTAmorphous SiC p-layers doped with trimethylboron (B(CH3) 3) were prepared with optical and electrical properties superior to those prepared with B2H6. Devices were prepared with efficiencies as high as 11.4% using trimethyl boron. The improved properties of B(CH3)3-doped a-SiC result from the fact that trimethylboron is a more effective doping agent than B2H6 and produces p-layers with a higher bandgap.
