The silver, gold nanoparticles were grown onto poly (diallyldimethyl ammoniumchloride, PDDA)-functionalized large mesoporous carbon (LMC) by simple self-assembly method. AuNPs or AgNPs/PDDA–LMC show superior electrocatalytic activity.

The study reports a facile and eco-friendly approach for nanomaterial synthesis and enzyme immobilization. A corresponding glucose biosensor was fabricated by immobilizing the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and glucose oxidase (GOD) multilayer films onto the polypyrrole (PPy)/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) via the electrodeposition and self-assembly. PPy and graphene oxide were first coated on the surface of a bare GCE by the electrodeposition. Then, AuNPs and GOD were alternately immobilized onto PPy-RGO/GCE electrode using the electrodeposition of AuNPs and self-assembly of GOD to obtain AuNPs-GOD multilayer films. The resulting PPy-RGO-(AuNPs-GOD)n/GCE biosensors were used to characterize and assess their electrocatalytic activity toward glucose using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The response current increased with the increased number of AuNPs-GOD layers, and the biosensor based on four layers of AuNPs-GOD showed the best performance. The PPy-RGO-(AuNPs-GOD)4/GCE electrode can detect glucose in a linear range from 0.2 mM to 8 mM with a good sensitivity of 0.89 μA/mM, and a detection limit of 5.6 μM (S/N = 3). This study presents a promising eco-friendly biosensor platform with advantages of electrodeposition and self-assembly, and would be helpful for the future design of more complex electrochemical detection systems.

ABSTRACTThe processing parameters of polyaniline (PANI) dictate the desired morphology and overall structural stability of the deposited polymer for biological and chemical sensor applications. Electrospun composites of leucoemeraldine based PANI (LEB-PANI) has exhibited effective separation of aggregates inherent in LEB-PANI powder as a result of charge separation induced on the composite matrix during electrospinning. However it appears the encapsulation of biological (enzyme-Urease E.C.3.5.1.5) in the electrospun matrix intensifies the self assembly process. An investigation of the changes in morphology as an effect of electrospinning and enzyme immobilization is discussed.

In order to see the functionality and toxicity of nanoparticles in various food and drug applications, it is important to establish procedures to prepare nanoparticles of a controlled size. Desolvation is a thermodynamically driven self-assembly process for polymeric materials. In this study, we prepared BSA nanoparticles using the desolvation technique using acetone as desolvating agent. Acetone was added intermittently into 1% BSA solution at different pH under stirring at 700 rpm. Amount of acetone added, intermittent timeline of acetone addition, and pH of solution were considered as process parameters to be optimized. The effect of the process parameters on size of the nanoparticles was studied. The results indicated that the size control of BSA nanoparticles was achieved by adding acetone intermittently. The standard deviation of average size of BSA nanoparticles at each preparation condition was minimized by adding acetone intermittently. The intermittent addition in polymeric aqueous solution can be useful for size control for food or drug applications.
