Abstract

Thin films of polypyrrole were synthesized using both chemical oxidative and electrochemical methods. The resulting oxidized films were characterized by UV/VIS spectroscopy, contact angle and conductivity measurements. In vitro studies suggest that extracellular matrix molecules, such as fibronectin, adsorb efficiently onto polypyrrole thin films and that 3T3 Balb/c mouse fibroblasts attach and spread normally on polypyrrole.
