- The advancement of bioelectronics depends greatly on new material development and engineering solutions. Redox polymers are promising candidates to contribute to this advancement of biointerfacing devices. For such devices to be clinically useful, they must fulfill an assortment of requirements, including biocompatibility, stability, mechanical compliancy and the ability to effectively monitor or influence biological systems. The use of redox polymers in bioelectronic research has demonstrated a great deal of potential in satisfying these constraints. In this chapter, we consider the advantageous aspects of polymer electronics for biomedical applications including electrophysiological recording, neuromodulation, biosensor technologies and drug delivery. Particular emphasis is given to PEDOT-based systems as these have demonstrated the highest degree of bioelectronic device success to date, however, other polymers are also discussed when pertinent.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The use of computational techniques in materials science is currently expanding rapidly due to the better capabilities of computer infrastructure and increasing user friendliness of relevant software. This growth is also experienced for redox-active organic matter aimed at utilization in energy storage and conversion devices. We here cover a range of material modelling technologies – focused on electronic structure calculations and force field methods – which have been applied for these organic materials, targeting a broad range of materials categories and possible applications. We also take a look at how novel computational tools are likely to make an even greater impact on the field in the near future, where they can be used as predictive tools for finding novel relevant molecular systems for electronic applications. It is argued that the versatility of organic materials, possessing relevant properties over very different length scales, make computational tools particularly useful for achieving better performance of their devices.
