CARBON NANOSTRUCTURE ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSOR AND METHOD

摘要

Carbon nanostmctures may be protected and functionalized using a layer-by-layer method whereby functional groups on the carbon nanostmcture surface may be further derivatized to incorporate additional functional moieties. Carbon nanostmctures functionalized using such a layer-by-layer method may be used to disperse, sort, separate and purify carbon nanostmctures and may be used as sensing elements such as voltametric, amperometric, and potentiometric pH sensors or as biometric sensing elements and electrodes and intracorporeal sensors and electrodes.
