Abstract

The research project aims at the application of a conductive and biodegradable polymer modified or not with plasmonic nanoparticlesThe application focus of is in tissue engineering, more specifically with nerve or bone cells. In order to improve the processes of cell adhesion and proliferation through stimulation of electric current or electric field and light. The study of toxicity and methods is of fundamental importance.
