Carbon Nanotubes
- Carbon nanotubes are studied as transducers due to their electronic properties and high surface. The methods of functionalization as well as the various functionalization modes have been developed:
Covalent attachment
Chemical modification
Electrochemical modification
Interaction through π - π stacking
Association with conducting polymers
Association with metalloporphyrins
- Carbon nanotubes and their association with other materials has been studied for various biosensors systems:
Modification with NTA / copper for His-tag antibody immobilization and protein detection through redox signal of copper
Association with conducting polypyrrole and redox dendrimers through π-π stacking interaction for DNA sensors development
Association with redox dendrimers through
chemical modification for aptasensors development
