The conductive polythiophene/chitosan/carboxymethylchitosan (PTH/CS/CMCS) hydrogel were prepared in this study. Polythiophene was synthesized via oxidative polymerization in chloroform at 40°C. For CMCS synthesis, CS was alkalized with sodium hydroxide in isopropanol and then reacted with monochloro...
