Abstract

Abstract : A cytocompatible robust hybrid conducting‐polymer hydrogel, polypyrrole/poly(3, 4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) is developed. This hydrogel is suitable for electrode‐cellular applications. It demonstrates a high battery performance when coupled with a bioresorbable Mg alloy in phosphate‐buffered saline. A combination of suitable mechanical and electrochemical properties makes this hydrogel a promising material for bionic applications.
