High selectivity and sensitivity sensor based on MIP and SPR in tapered plastic optical fibers for the detection of l-nicotine

Optimization of SPR signals: Monitoring the physical structures and refractive indices of prisms

“…6). From the view of excellent selectivity function as sensors [28], the usage of Group 2 type-SF11 prisms able to enhance this impressive feature in which sharp SPR curves with small FWHM values were obtained as summarized in Fig. 7.…”

Molecular imprinting method for fabricating novel glucose sensor: Polyvinyl acetate electrode reinforced by MnO2/CuO loaded on graphene oxide nanoparticles

“…However, most of these sensors have displayed the drawbacks of the high cost of rare metal precursors and low sensitivity. On this basis, development of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), as a recognition element for sensors, has attracted much attention (Cennamo et al, 2014;Yang et al, 2011).…”

Molecularly-imprinted polymer sensors: realising their potential

“…These authors reported that the optical fibre probes gave a linear response over a concentration range of 0.02 M-0.96 M, by recording surface plasmon resonance spectra in which a significantly large shift was observed in presence of target molecules. Cennamo et al (2013Cennamo et al ( , 2014Cennamo et al ( , and 2015 reported a series of studies including combinations of optical fibres with surface plasmon resonance and MIPs.…”

“…Compared to glass alternatives, polymer-based optical fibres have extraordinary advantages such as excellent flexibility, easy manipulation, great numerical aperture, large diameter and the ability to withstand smaller bending radii than glass (Cennamo et al, 2014). MIP/surface plasmon resonance biosensors for trinitrotoluene and Lnicotine were built using both tapered and non-tapered optical fibres and then their sensing performances were compared (Cennamo et al, 2013 and.…”
