Amperometric biosensor systems prepared on poly(aniline-ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate) composites doped with poly(vinyl sulfonic acid sodium salt).

Description

<p>The main hypothesis in this study is the development of a nanocomposite mediated amperometric biosensor for detection of hydrogen peroxide. The aim is to combine the electrochemical properties of both polyaniline and ferrocenium hexafluorophosphate into highly conductive nano composites capable of exhibiting electrochemistry in non acidic media / shuttling electrons between HRP and GCE for biosensor applications.</p>
