The subject matter of the present invention includes a novel biodegradable conducting polymer for biomedical applications. The polymer combines mixed heteroaromatic conductive segments of pyrrole and thiophene with flexible aliphatic chains via degradable ester linkages. In addition to its utility for peripheral nerve regeneration, the polymer may be applied to other areas of tissue engineering, including spinal cord regeneration, wound healing, bone repair, muscle tissue stimulation, and other regenerative, restorative, reconstructive, therapeutic, prophylactic, and diagnostic functions.
