Conformable biocompatible conductive materials are increasingly sought for the development of bioelectronics. If additionally resorbable, they could serve for the design of transient implantable electronic devices, opening the way to new healthcare applications. Hyaluronan (HA) derivatives including sulfate and aminophenylboronic acid (PBA) groups (HAS-PBA) were therefore designed to serve as dopants of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy)thiophene (PEDOT).

In this study, two functional PNBEs were electrospun in the presence of a variety of cross-linkers, resulting in fibers with Ts greater than 300 °C. The fibers are long (several mm), rigid, and with diameters that can be tuned in the range 300 nm-10 μm.
