Résumé
In this study, a new way to synthesize polypyrrole films is presented. This original way consists in the electropolymerization of polypyrrole under high frequency ultrasonic irradiation on conductive fluorine-doped tin oxide surfaces. The polypyrrole films obtained are then compared, in terms of chemical structure and morphology, to polypyrrole films synthesized by standard electrochemical methodology. Next, these polymer films are tested as an alternative to biomaterials that are commonly used as cell culture substrates. Thus, the adhesion and growth of osteoblastics cells and microbial cells on polymer-modified surfaces are investigated by using qualitative observation and quantitative tests. These studies proved the non-toxicity of the polymer films for osteoblastic and microbial cells but also a different behaviour of osteoblastic cells and microbial cells with polypyrrole films.
