Abstract
This project aims to design a suitable composite for experiments involving nerve cell regeneration. This composite consists of Pluronic F-127 poloxamer gels with embedded carbon nanobrushes that allow the composite to inherit conductive properties. These conductive properties allow for the possibility of nerve cell stimulation via an electric current or voltage.
