Cholesterol and ethanol biosensors based on conducting polypyrrole (PPy), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxypyrrole) (PEDOP) were constructed. Cholesterol oxidase (ChOx, from Pseudomonas fluorescens) and alcohol oxidase (AlcOx, from Pichia pastoris) were physically entrapped during electropolymerization of the monomers (Py, EDOT, EDOP) in phosphate buffer containing sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) as the supporting electrolyte. The amperometric responses of the enzyme electrodes were measured monitoring oxidation current of H2O2 at +0.7 V in the absence of a mediator. Kinetic parameters, such as Km and Imax, operational and storage stabilities, effects of pH and temperature were determined for all entrapment supports. Based on Michaelis-Menten (Km) constants, it can be interpreted that both enzymes immobilized in PEDOT showed the highest affinities towards their substrates. Before testing the alcohol biosensors on alcoholic beverages, effects of interferents (glucose, acetic acid, citric acid, L-ascorbic acid) which might be present in beverages were determined. The alcohol content of the distilled beverages (vodka, dry cin, whisky, rakı) was measured with these biosensors. A good match with the chromatography results (done by the companies) was observed.

Synthesis and characterization of polythiophene/montmorillonite and polythiophene/polypropylene composites Dülgerbaki, Çiğdem; Küçükyavuz, Zuhal; Department of Chemistry (2006) In this study, polythiophene(PTP)/montmorillonite(MMT) nanocomposites were synthesized by in situ intercalative polymerization and chemical oxidative polymerization. In in situ intercalative polymerization method, composites containing 90 and 95% MMT were prepared. In chemical oxidative polymerization method, a series of composites ranging from 1 to 15% by weight MMT were synthesized. Thermal and morphological properties of samples were investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), Thermal Gravim...
Synthesis of polythiophene and polypyrrole derivatives and their application in electrochromic devices Ak, Metin; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2006) Different substituted thiophene and pyrrole monomers namely hexamethylene (bis-3-thiopheneacetamide) (HMTA), N-(4-(3-thienylmethylene)-oxycarbonylphenyl)maleimide (MBThi), 2,4,6-Tris-(4-pyrrol-1-yl-phenoxy)-[1,3,5]triazine (TriaPy), 2,4,6-Tris-(thiophen-3-ylmethoxy)-[1,3,5] triazine (TriaTh), and N-(2-(thiophen-3-yl)methylcarbonyloxyethyl) maleimide (NMT) were synthesized. The chemical structures of the monomers were characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR and 13C-NMR) and Fourier Transform Infr...
Synthesis, characterization, and polymerization of polyether bridged thiophene and aniline derivatives Tirkeş, Seha; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2008) New compounds consisting of 3-thienyl and aniline units linked by polyether bridges have been synthesized and their electrochemical polymerization was performed via constant potential electrolysis and cyclic voltammetry. In the case of 3-thienyl derivatives two compounds, 1,12-di-3-thienyl-2,5,8,11-tetraoxadodecane (MI) and 1,15-di-3-thienyl-2,5,8,11,14-pentaoxapentadecane (MII) were synthesized utilizing literature methods and their corresponding polymers, poly(I) and poly(II) were prepared in an electroly...
Polyaniline: synthesis characterization solution properties and composites Yılmaz, Faris; Küçükyavuz, Zuhal; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2007) Polyaniline was chemically synthesized at three different temperatures of 25, 0, and -25oC, by oxidative polymerization with ammonium peroxidisulfate at equimolar of aniline to oxidant ratio and 1M HCl. The resulted polyaniline was in a powder form which was characterized by several techniques such as: electrical conductivity, elemental analysis, thermal analysis, wide-angle X-Ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscope. The solution properties of the reduced polymer were studied by viscometry, static...
Microwave-assisted simultaneous novel synthesis of poly(dibromophenylene oxide)s, poly(diiodophenylene oxide)s (p), conducting(cp) and/or crosslinked (clp) and/or radical ion polymers (rip) Çelik, Güler Bayraklı; Kısakürek, Duygu; Department of Chemistry (2007) Microwave-assisted novel synthesis of poly(dibromophenylene oxide) or poly(diiodophenylene oxide) (P), conducting polymer (CP) and/or crosslinked polymer (CLP) and/or radical ion polymer (RIP) were achieved simultaneously from lithium, sodium or potassium 2,4,6-bromophenolate or sodium 2,4,6-iodophenolate in a very short time interval. Polymerizations were carried out by constant microwave energy with different time intervals varying from 1 to 20 min; or at constant time intervals with variation of microwav...
