ResumoA strategy utilizing elastin peptide macroporous cryogels to build highly flexible scaffolds to load carbon nanotubes, polypyrrole, and iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles, is presented. This combines high elasticity, flexibility, shape memory property, and injectable property together with conductivity and/or magnetic responsive property. The network can afford 97.5% compressive strain with an excellent conductivity of 50.1 ± 2.9 S cm(-1) at 90% strain.
