Use of Conductive Polymers in Detection Stage of Analysis/Miniaturization Devices

Wearable Nano-Based Gas Sensors for Environmental Monitoring and Encountered Challenges in Optimization

“…Nanohybrid-based sensors offer a new paradigm to attain selectivity with enhanced sensitivity. Polymers such as PT, polyacetylene (PA), PEDOT, poly (phenylene vinylene) (PPV), PANI, and Ppy are among the CPs with potential use in gas sensing as their conductivity changes upon exposure to gas molecules [61]. Utilizing such polymers has the benefits of high functionality, low cost, excellent stability, rapid response time, remarkable recovery, facile synthesis, and high surface area.…”

Prominent processing techniques to manipulate semiconducting polymer microstructures

“…1,2 The latter can be endlessly designed and then developed via a plethora of synthetic routes. Therefore, polymer molecules display a multitude of physico-chemical properties and functions 3–15 that extend their use and sustainability 16 in a wide-range of applications, 14,15,17–26 stretching from the automotive 27–31 and aeronautic 32–35 industry, to packaging 36–40 and adhesive 41–44 materials, to energy storage 45–48 and optoelectronics, 25,26,49–53 to additive manufacturing 30,54–57 and environmental remediation, 58–63 to insulator 64–66 and detection 67–70 applications, to medical/drug delivery uses 22,71–79 and antibacterial solutions, 23,80–83 to lithography 20,84–86 and three-/four-dimensional (3D/4D) printing, 87–95 etc.…”

Coupled immobilized bi-enzymatic flow reactor employing cofactor regeneration of NAD+ using a thermophilic aldehyde dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase

“…28,29 In contrast, PEDOP possesses high stability to over-oxidation during electropolymerization. 30 While the use of CP has primarily focused on electrochemical applications such as bioelectrosynthesis, 31 biosensors, 32 and biofuel cells, 33 they can also be used to immobilize enzymes on conductive supports. For example, lipase was immobilized electrochemically in silica films on nanoporous gold (NPG) supports and incorporated into a flow reactor for the hydrolysis of 4-nitro-phenyl butyrate.…”
