Development of chemical approaches aimed at conferring cation specificity/sensitivity to the ambivalent (ionic and electronic conductive) PEDOT material. Specific metal cations involved in various cell/organ activities, such as K+, Na+ or Zn2+, will be investigated through the synthesis of appropriate (co)polymers. The latter can thus be processed into OECTs for final cell interfacing.
