Abstract | Neuroprosthetics aims at restoring impaired or lost neurological and mental functions by exploiting technological advances in implantable and wearable devices. The performance of implantable devices, such as neural interfaces, relies upon the synergy between biology and machines. Should this synergy lack, numerous undesirable consequences might occur, such as rejection, infection, or malfunctioning. Several material properties like softness, electrochemical behaviour, biocompatibility, and biodegradability are among the features affecting the reliability of neural interfaces. In this review, the authors describe modern polymeric substrates and organic-based electrodes, offering the best combination of such characteristics. Their versatility in merging different properties derives from the accessible control over their molecular structure and blending. Compared to inorganic materials, organic materials have superior mechanical compliance with the soft tissue, and conjugated polymers also have an advantageous electrochemical transport mechanism at the interface with electrolytic solutions, involving both ionic and electronic conductivities. Hence, all-polymer neural interfaces would be convenient for a multitude of benefits, including low-cost manufacturing, increased biocompatibility, lightweight, transparency, and affinity with green electronics. This review also highlights materials strategies supporting the development of safe electronic interfaces based on organic materials and beneficial for various applications neuroprosthetics. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
