Abstract
We have studied the possibility of making biocompatible, conductive patterns on a substrate by controlling the lateral growth rate of conducting polymers upon electropolymerization. Surface modification with heparin was found to enhance the lateral growth of polypyrrole, especially in the presence of dodecylbenzenesulfonate, and thus the micropatterning of heparin around electrodes leads to the formation of polypyrrole patterns.
