Advances in neural prosthetic technologies demand ever increasing novelty in material composition to enhance the mechanical and electrochemical properties of existing microelectrode arrays. Conductive polymers present advantages such as mechanical flexibility, outstanding biocompatibility, remarkable electrical properties and, most of all, cellular agreement. However, for long-term chronic applications, they fall short in their electrochemical endurance and mechanical adhesion to their substrate materials. Multiple electrochemical approaches have been investigated to improve the adherence of Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) to underlying metallic thin films. In this work, an electrochemical treatment of diazonium salt on platinum microelectrodes is incorporated as an electrochemical adhesion promoter for PEDOT and it is further combined with using the highly microporous geometry of Platinum Grey (Pt-Grey); a technology developed by Second Sight Medical Products Inc (SSMP). The intertwined mechanical integration of Pt-Grey and PEDOT molecules together with the covalent binding agency of diazonium salt demostrate a composite coating technology with long-term stability of more than 452 days while providing >70x enhancement to the interfacial capacitive impedance.
