Plastic production is increasing annually, and the accumulation of plastic waste is harmfully affecting the environment. Needs for biodegradable polymers are increasing and biodegradability of conventional conducting polymers (CPs) are also required. Here, the biodegradability of conventional CPs, including polypyrrole (PPy), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), polydopamine (PDA), natural melanin (Mel), polyaniline (PANI) was investigated via the superworm’s ingestion behavior. CPs were fabricated to the form of bio-inspired and nanostructured free-standing films, with a montmorillonite (MMT) clay. The biodegradability and biocompatibility of each CP material was characterized through the chemical composition change and viability of superworms during the test. |
