Development of materials composed of polymer-clay nanocomposites (PCN) and conducting polymers attracts great interest and preferred in various applications. Hereby, polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) layered silicate nanocomposites were prepared by in-situ suspension polymerization by grafting PMMA with laponite using a suitable grafting agent. The properties of the as-synthesized PCN materials are characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetry analysis (TGA) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). A conducting polymer; poly(4-(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-y1)-7-(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-7-y1)-2-benzyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole) (poly(BIPE)) and a PMMA-clay nanocomposite with 2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyltrimethylammonium chloride (MTMA) modifier were examined as a platform for biomolecule deposition. Glucose oxidase (GOx, beta-D-glucose: oxygen-1-oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.3.4) was chosen as the model enzyme to prepare a scaffold for glucose sensing. Three different sensing strategies; PCN/GOx, poly(BIPE)/GOx and PCN/poly(BIPE)/GOx were analyzed and their biosensor performances were discussed. Surface morphology of the modified electrodes was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique. Electrochemical responses of the enzyme electrodes were monitored at -0.7 V vs. Ag reference electrode by monitoring oxygen consumption in the presence of glucose. After optimum conditions were determined, kinetic and analytical parameters; K-M(aPP), I-max, LOD and sensitivity were investigated for each sensing platform.

In order to construct a robust covalent binding between biomolecule and immobilization platform in biosensor preparation, a novel functional monomer 4-(4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2yl)benzaldehyde (BIBA) was designed and successfully synthesized. After electropolymerization of this monomer, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical properties were investigated in detail. To fabricate the desired biosensor, glucose oxidase (GOx) was immobilized as a model enzyme on the polymer coated graphite ...

Since conjugated polymers are an important class of materials with remarkable properties in biosensor applications, in this study, a novel glucose biosensor based on a conjugated polymer was fabricated via the electropolymerization of the monomer 10,13-bis(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)dipyridol[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine onto a graphite electrode surface. Glucose oxidase (GOx) was used as the model biological recognition element. As a result of the enzymatic reaction between GOx and glucose, the glucose amount was det...

Ardahan, Gülben; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Department of Chemistry (2008)
A novel electrically conducting polymer, poly(2-dodecyl-4,7-di(selenophen-2-yl)benzotriazole) (Poly(SBT)), containing selenophene as a strong donor and benzotriazole as a strong acceptor group was synthesized by electrochemical polymerization. Homopolymerization and copolymerization ( in the presence of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) ) was achieved in acetonitrile/ dichloromethane(95/5 v/v) with 0.1M tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6). The electrochemical and optical properties of homopolyme...

Herein, a specific and stable biosensor for glucose using a flexible, modified electrode with a carbon nanofiber (CNF) and a novel conjugated polymer including three moieties of benzotriazole, benzodithiophene, and benzenediamine (P-BDT-BTz:BDA) as a platform was designed. For this purpose, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber mats were obtained by a solution-based electrospinning method. PAN nanofiber mats were stabilized and carbonized to turn into carbon nanofibers and the sensing platform was formed by com...

The thermal behaviors and degradation products of conducting polymer composites prepared by electrooxidation of thiophene using natural rubber or synthetic rubber as the insulating matrix were studied by direct and indirect mass spectrometry techniques. The pyrolysis mass data revealed that a chemical interaction formed between the components of the composites during polymerization. Thermal characteristics of rubbers totally disappeared in the composites indicating presence of some chain scissions leading t...
