Chemical design criteria for materials for bioelectronics applications using a series of copolymer derivatives based on poly(3‐hexylthiophene) are established. Directed chemical design via side‐chain functionalization with polar groups allows manipulation of ion transport and ion‐to‐electron transduction. Insights gained will permit increased use of the plethora of materials employed in the organic electronics area for application in the bioelectronics field.
