Controllable nanoporous fibril-like morphology by layer-by- layer self-assembled films of bioelectronics poly(pyrrole-&ITco&IT-formyl pyrrole)/polystyrene sulfonate for biocompatible electrode
We demonstrate a new class of nanocoating materials for biocompatible electrode based on poly (pyrrole-co-formyl pyrrole) (P(Py-co-Fpy)) multilayered with polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) using layer by layer (LBL) self-assembly technique. By modulating the number layer of deposition, the unique surface properties of P(Py-co-Fpy) are evaluated for bioaffinity. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) demonstrates the controllable morphology of the degree fibril network structure of P(Py-co-Fpy)/PSS surface. The direct adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto the top surface of P(Py-co-Fpy)/PSS film by AFM analysis reveals the forming of BSA multilayer at high degree of fibril structure P(Py-co-Fpy). In addition, the adsorbed fibrinogen (Fgn) reveals the reversible conformation change on surface of P(Py-co-Fpy)/PSS. The effect of P(Py-co-Fpy)/PSS morphology on primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) is investigated. Cell morphology and proliferation on P(Py-co-Fpy)/PSS LBL film at different number of layer deposition are evaluated, demonstrating that P(Py-co-Fpy)/PSS LBL nano-coating surface is non-cytotoxic as morphology-dependent.
