X Abstract

A novel biocomposite film (MWCNTs-P NDGAChi ) which contains multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) along with the incorporation of poly(nordihydroguaiaretic acid) and chitosan co-polymer (P NDGAChi ) has been synthesized on gold electrode by potentiostatic methods. The presence of MWCNTs in the biocomposite film enhances P NDGAChi ’s surface coverage concentration (Γ) on the electrode and decreases degradation of P NDGAChi during cycling. The biocomposite film also exhibits promising enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards the oxidation of biochemical compounds such as epinephrine (EP) and norepinephrine (NEP). The cyclic voltammetry has been used for the measurement of electroanalytical properties of analytes by means of MWCNTs-P NDGAChi biocomposite film modified gold electrode. The sensitivity values of MWCNTs-P NDGAChi biocomposite film modified gold electrode are higher than the values which are obtained for P NDGAChi film modified gold electrode. Electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance studies reveal the enhancements in the functional properties of MWCNTs and P NDGAChi present in MWCNTs-P NDGAChi biocomposite film. Surface morphology of the biocomposite films have been studied using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy. The surface morphology results reveal that P NDGAChi incorporated on MWCNTs. Finally, the flow injection analysis has been used for the amperometric detection of EP and NEP at MWCNTs-P NDGAChi film modified screen printed carbon electrode.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
