چکیده

Recently, conducting polymers have attracted much interest in the development of biosensors. The electrically conducting polymers are known to possess numerous features, which allow them to act as excellent materials for immobilization of biomolecules and rapid electron transfer for the fabrication of efficient biosensors. In the present review an attempt has been made to describe the salient features of conducting polymers and their wide applications in health care, food industries, environmental monitoring etc.

Removal of thiocyanate ions from aqueous solutions using polypyrrole and polyaniline conducting electroactive polymers

Polypyrrole (PPy/Cl) and polyaniline (PAni/Cl) synthesized chemically onto sawdust (SD)was used for removal of thiocyanate (SCN-) ions from aqueous solutions. The effect of someimportant parameters such as pH, initial concentration, sorbent dosage, and contact time onuptake of SCN- was investigated. PPy/SD was found to be much more effective sorbent thanPAni/SD for uptake SCN- from aqueous solu...
