3D bio-nanofibrous PPy/SIBS mats as platforms for cell culturing.
3D bio-nanofibrous polypyrrole/poly(styrene-beta-isobutylene-beta-styrene) mats, prepared via a vapor-phase polymerisation modified electrospinning process, provide excellent platforms for PC12 cells attachment and growth, indicating potential applications in areas requiring good mass transport such as nerve growth guidance channels.
