A novel amine-imide type conducting polymer, denoted as poly(PD-BCD), was molecularly imprinted on an indium-tin oxide (ITO) glass, with uric acid (UA) as the template and without any functional monomer. Intending to improve the imprinting efficiency, the polymer content was varied from 0.3 to 0.9wt% during the preparation of the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), thereby varying the thicknes...

New electrochemical technique with a Pt-Ag twin electrode is proposed for the determining the contents of iron sulfides (FeS and FeS(2)) in a suspension. After electrolytic oxidation with a Pt electrode, Fe(2+) was measured by linear sweep voltammetry. From relations of the charge amount from the baseline to the peak in the voltammogram of Fe(2+) with the content of FeS or FeS(2), linear calibr...

The effect of experimental conditions on cyclic voltammetry experiments on platinum electrodes covered with biofilms formed by Pseudomonas fluorescens for 2 hours was investigated. Results show that recycling the potential stabilizes the shape of the cyclic voltammogram after 135 cycles, but the observation of the electrodes by epifluorescence microscopy showed that cells are still adhered to t...

A novel rectangular channel flow electrochemical cell for the study of liquid liquid interfaces is presented. The organic phase is immobilised by the use of a gelling agent, while the aqueous phase flows past the interface. This creates an asymmetric setup that allows us to establish diagnostic criteria to determine, for example, the direction of the ion transfer. The effects of varying flow ra...

Biosensing systems based on detecting changes in cantilever surface stress have attracted great interest. To achieve high reliability of measurements, high quality and high reproducibility in functionalization of the sensor surface are key points. In this paper, we investigate different methods to clean and regenerate the sensing surface of cantilever biosensors. Perchloric acid potential sweep...

The effect of experimental conditions on cyclic voltammetry experiments on platinum electrodes covered with biofilms formed by Pseudomonas fluorescens for 2 hours was investigated. Results show that recycling the potential stabilizes the shape of the cyclic voltammogram after 195 cycles, but the observation of the electrodes by epifluorescence microscopy showed that cells are still adhered to t...

Herein we demonstrate a novel plating bath, free from cyanide, to plate highly adherent nanocrystalline copper-silver (ncCuAg) coating on stainless-steel substrate and its application as an antimicrobial coating. The microstructures, such the grain size, texture, microstrain, crystalline preferential orientation of CuAg deposits, are systematically investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis. ra...

−− The electrocatalytic properties of platinum nanoparticles incorporated into polyaniline films was investigated for oxidation of ethanol in sulfuric acid solutions. The electropolymerization of aniline and the electrochemical depositions of platinum particles into the polyaniline film were achieved by cyclic voltammetry. The effect of the formation conditions of platinum-modified polyaniline ...

The electrochemical polymerization of 2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid with and without aniline has been carried by cyclic potencial sweep in sulfuric acid solution at the glassy carbon electrode. The polymer and copolymer formed have been characterized voltammetrically. The sulfonated polyaniline coated mercury thin-film electrodes have been evaluated for use with anodic stripping voltammetry. The ...
