In this thesis an amperometric biosensor consisting of a conjugated polymer, chitosan and multi-walled carbon nanotubes constructed for the detection of glucose. Conjugated polymers have opened a new era for the development of biosensing platforms with their unique electronic properties, high stabilities and processabilities. They serve both as immobilization matrices for biorecognition elements and as transducers in biosensing devices. As an additional modification material, chitosan was participated in the construction of the proposed biosensor due to its promising properties such as excellent film formability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nontoxicity. Chitosan served as a great immobilization matrix together with the conjugated polymer and improved the stability and sensitivity of the biosensor. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes have also extensively used in electrochemical sensing devices since they improve the response performances of biosensors due to their superior electrochemical properties. Furthermore, they are also promising as supporting matrix materials while preserving the catalytic activity and stability of enzymes. From this point of view, by modifying a graphite electrode with a monomer via electropolymerization followed by casting with CHIT/MWCNTs solution, the proposed biosensor was fabricated having a good linear response for glucose between 0.01-0.75 mM with a detection limit of 0.032 mM and the sensitivity value of 63.76 µAmM-1cm-2. Moreover, the biosensor presented promising kinetic parameters with the KMapp value of 0.05 mM. For investigating the surface modifications, cyclic voltammetry and SEM techniques were utilized. Besides, in order to prove the applicability of the proposed biosensor, the system was tested with a commercial beverage sample.

Electrochemical polymerization of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1 H-pyrrole as a novel immobilization platform for microbial sensing Tuncagil, Sevinc; ODACI DEMİRKOL, DİLEK; Varis, Serhat; TİMUR, SUNA; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2009-09-01) Two types of bacterial biosensor were constructed by immobilization of Gluconobacter oxydans and Pseudomonas fluorescens cells on graphite electrodes modified with the conducting polymer; poly(1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1 H-pyrrole) [SNS(NO2)]. The measurement was based on the respiratory activity of cells estimated by the oxygen consumption at -0.7 V due to the metabolic activity in the presence of substrate. As well as analytical characterization, the linear detection ranges, effects of electropo...
Design of Carbon Nanotube Modified Conducting Polymer for Biosensing Applications Ozdemir, Caglar; Tuncagil, Sevinc; ODACI DEMİRKOL, DİLEK; TİMUR, SUNA; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2011-01-01) An electrochemical biosensor with improved performance was designed through the immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) onto conducting polymer of 4-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzenamine (SNS-NH2) modified with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). For the optimization and characterization of the biosensor, pH profile, enzyme loading, reproducibility, operational stability experiments were carried out. It was found that the use of CNTs in a biosensing system enhanced the biosensor response. The linear relati...
Enhancement in Oxygen Reduction Reaction Activity of Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanostructures in Acidic Media through Chloride-Ion Exposure Jain, Deeksha; Mamtani, Kuldeep; Gustin, Vance; Gunduz, Seval; Çelik, Gökhan; Waluyo, Iradwikanari; Hunt, Adrian; Co, Anne C.; Ozkan, Umit S. (2018-07-11) Nitrogen-doped carbon nanostructures (CNx) are promising cathode materials as catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Incorporation of chlorine into CNx catalysts using a facile methodology can lead to a significant improvement in the ORR activity in acidic media, as confirmed by electrochemical half-cell measurements. The chlorine-containing CNx catalyst (CNx-Cl) is synthesized by soaking CNx powder in 0.3 M HCl. The analysis of near-edge X-ray ab...
Synthesis and characterization of conjugated polymers with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane pendant groups Ertan, Salih; Kaynak, Cevdet; Cihaner, Atilla; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2017) In this thesis, a series of monomers covalently bonded to polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) pendant group was designed and synthesized. POSS group is a hybrid organic-inorganic nanostructure with 1 to 3 nm diameter. POSS which has a cage structure is mainly composed of silicon (Si) (at vertices) and oxygen (O) (in the middle of the edge). POSS nanostructure can be modified through the vertices with organic functional groups. POSS groups provide different properties, such as thermal robustness, mec...
Electrochromic and photovoltaic applications of conjugated polymers Apaydın, Doğukan Hazar; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2012) Three new azobenzene containing conjugated monomers were designed and synthesized. Resulting monomers were characterized by means of 1H NMR and 13C NMR techniques. Monomers (E)-1,2-bis(4-(thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)diazene (M1), (E)-1,2-bis(4-(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl) phenyl) diazene (M2) and (E)-1,2-bis(2-fluoro-4-(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)phenyl) diazene (M3) were electrochemically polymerized using cyclic voltammetry to give polymers P1, P2 and P3. The polymers were subjected to spectroelectrochemical and kinetic stu...
