Since carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or conducting polymers (CPs) have been used in thin film for biomedical applications, the field have required the evolution to more real and complex matrices. 3D structures enhance effectivity and increase ratio/ surface at the same time that provide complexity and heterogeneity of real systems. However, the manufacturing of structures composed of this two outstanding materials is still a challenged due to their poor processability. In fact, the general way to include one or both material is based on post-processing steps. In this review we presented conventional method based on fiber meshes, hydrogels, porous scaffold or post processing and non-conventional methods highlighted by the structure formation in-situ during the polymerization process. It is noteworthy remark that there are not many examples of the combination of both materials for the biomedical field, most of the examples reported in literature are focused in energy storage applications.
