Employment of nanostructured conducting polymer for the preparation of electrochemical biosensors

Abstract

The twenty first century has gained great attention regarding nanostructured conducting polymers and their number of application in the field of biosensors, microelectronics, polymer batteries, actuators, energy conversion, and biological applications. In the field of bioengineering application, the conducting polymers have been exploited as excellent matrixes for the functionalization of various biological molecules and thus enhanced their performances as biosensors. Moreover, combinations of metals or metal oxides nanostructures with conducting polymers result in improving the stability and sensitivity as the bio sensing platform. This article explains the fabrications of various conducting polymers nanostructures and their composites with different shapes.
