Abstract:The detection of phenols is one of the main research directions due to impact of phenols on human life. Herein, novel biosensing matrices based on pristine and composite (including MWCNTs) electrospun nanofibers coated with conducting polymers (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiphene (PEDOT) or polypyrrole (PPy)) were employed for immobilization of Tyrosinase enzyme and further evaluated for phenol detection. The current study is meant to provide a comparison between the two conducting polymers in terms of electron tra… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
