Biocompatible, three-dimensional scaffolds are frequently used for tissue engineering applications due their ability to imitate the in vivo cellular microenvironment. Imparting these materials with conductive properties also makes them a promising platform for direct, real-time sensing from these living cells. The primary objective of this work is to use electrospinning to create tunable, conductive polymer nanofiber scaffolds that can be used as electrochemical sensors in biological environments. Results presented will include approaches to enhancing the stability of these materials in water, as well as their conductivity, without sacrificing biocompatibility.
