Heparin is a potent anticoagulant which can be immobilized on biomaterial surfaces to increase their hemocompatability. In the present work, we have electrochemically synthesized composites comprising heparin and the electrically conducting polymer polypyrrole. The incorporation and exposure of hepa
## Abstract **Summary:** Heparin, a potent anticoagulant, has been used for the first time for the synthesis of PPy nanowires serving not only as an anion dopant but also as an effective morphology‐directing agent. The obtained PPy nanowires exhibit long and fine structures with smooth surface and
