Abstract: An interface structure for a biological environment including at least one composite electrical impulse generating layer comprising a matrix phase of a piezo polymer material, a first dispersed phase of piezo nanocrystals, and second dispersed phase of carbon nanotubes, the first and second dispersed phase presented through the matrix phase. The piezo polymer material and piezo nanocrystal convert mechanical motion into electrical impulses and accept electrons to charge the composite impulse generating layer. The carbon nanotubes provide pathways for distribution of the electrical impulses to a surface of the composite impulse generating layer contacting the biological environment. The carbon nanotubes further provide for the delivery of the byproducts of the free radical degradation from the biological environment to both piezo-nanocrystals and piezo-polymer.
