Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is the most researched conjugated polymer in the field of organic bioelectronics. The conjugated PEDOT backbone features good redox stability in aqueous electrolyte, and low oxidation potential. However, PEDOT:PSS has two major drawbacks. The PEDOT backbone lacks biofunctionality, limiting the fine tuning of its interface with the biological environment. The dopant PSS is insulating, resulting in a decrease in the capacitance of the polymer. Here, we describe the design of a random copolymer, P(EDOTCOOH-co-EDOTS), based on EDOT monomers functionalized with sulfonic and carboxylic acid groups. The copolymer was successfully synthesized by electropolymerization as confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Contact angle measurements illustrated the high hydrophilicity of the P(EDOTCOOH-co-EDOTS) (28 ± 6º), attributed to the sulfonate group in the side chains. This in turn led to a higher water penetration into the
