Composite materials are made by impregnating a non-conductive material with a conducting monomer to form a monomer-impregnated non-conductive material, and polymerizing the monomer-impregnated non-conductive material to form the composite material. The composite materials are used in medical devices and implants.

Impregnation of a non-conductive material with an intrinsically conductive polymer

The invention includes conductive polymeric coatings, medical device, coating solutions and methods of making the same. A coating solution for forming a conductive polymer layer can include a conductive monomer, at least one photoreactive component comprising an anionic photoreactive cross-linking agent or an anionic photoreactive hydrophilic polymer, and a solvent. A medical device can include an electrode and an electrically conductive coating disposed over the electrode. The electrically conductive coating can include a reaction product of the conductive monomer and the at least one photoreactive component. Other aspects are included herein.

Conductive polymeric coatings, medical devices, coating solutions and methods

The present invention generally relates to compositions and methods for the preparation of conductive polymer coatings, and methods for application of the coatings to three-dimensional substrates.
