An amperometric glucose biosensor was fabricated using electospun polyaniline
fibers. Polyaniline was reacted with camphorsulfonic acid to produce a salt, which was
then dissolved in chloroform containing polystyrene. Using this solution, fibers were
formed and collected by electrospinning. Glucose oxidase was immobilized onto these
fibers using an electrostatic layer-by-layer adsorption technique. In this method,
poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) was used as the counter ion source. The level
of adsorption was examined and evidence of layer-by-layer adsorption was obtained
using a quartz crystal microbalance technique. A biosensor was fabricated from these
fibers as a working electrode, and used to measure the glucose concentration accurately.
