Abstract

Medical diagnostics and, to a lesser extent, pharmacy is two of the most prominent applications of organic conducting polymers (CPs). Polymers that conduct electricity, such as polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPY), polythiophene (PTh), and poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene), PEDOT, are frequently employed in sensor and biosensor design. Some unique CPs are used in the design of electrochemical biosensors, such as polypyrrole-based functional layers. Sensors based on conducting polymer composites have been fabricated which can detect brain hormones like Dopamine (DA), microorganism like bacteria, cancerous growth apart different gases and environmental parameters like humidity, pressure etc. CPs also find application in fabrication biochips and molecular electronics. The purpose of this communication is to discuss the manufacturing and applications of these CPs in medical diagnosis and associated applications.
