In this paper, a simple, economical, selective and sensitive electrochemical sensor is proposed for the quantification of vanillin (VAN) in real food samples. It consists carbon paste electrode (CPE) nanostructured with Fullerene (FNTs) functionalized multi-walled nanotubes (f-MWCNTs). The developed electroanalytical method was performed cyclic voltammetry after optimization operating condition...

The present work describes the construction of a new modified graphite-multiwall carbon nanotube paste electrode by casting the appropriate mixture of tetraheptylammonium iodide-iodine as a new modifier. The modified paste electrode was used for the determination of ascorbic acid (AA) in a phosphate buffer solution (pH 2.0). When compared to activated carbon, a graphite and multiwall carbon nan...

This mini review describes the results regarding the voltammetric determination of micromolar, submicromolar and nanomolar concentrations of various fluoroquinolones antibacterial agents using both traditional hanging mercury drop electrode, carbon paste electrode, glassy carbon paste electrode and chemically modified electrodes. We concentrate on the interaction of quinolones with DNA in solut...

The present research is focused on the investigation of influence ultrafine additives structure formation hardened cement paste and establishment mechanisms morphological transformations, which determine properties hydrated products. In course research, modification ordinary Portland was performed by suspension multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), black (CB) paste, silica fume (SF). Scanning...

Electrode effects on impedance spectra of cement pastes were investigated by two-, three-, and four-point measurements without a potentiostat over the frequency range 0,01 Hz–10 MHz. Electrode immittance effects arising from highly resistive/capacitive contacts cannot be fully corrected by nulling procedures, Two-point~measurements are much more susceptible to such effects than threeor four-poi...

The electrochemical oxidation of repaglinide has been carried out in Britton-Robinson buffer at carbon paste and glassy carbon electrodes. Repaglinide exhibits a well-defined irreversible oxidation peak over the entire pH range (2-11). Differential pulse voltammetry was used to determine repaglinide in pure form. The peak current varied linearly in the following ranges: 8.0 x 10(-7)-3.2 x 10(-6...

Poly(trimethylene terephthalate) nanocomposites containing COOH functionalized multi-walled nanotubes were synthesized with in situ polymerization method. The microstructure of the nanocomposites was studied by SEM, in terms of the dispersion state of the nanotubes and the polymer–nanotube interface. The thermal behaviour, mechanical properties and conductivity of these resultant PTT/MWCNTs nan...

Over the past years, DNA biosensors have been developed to analyze DNA interaction and damage that have important applications in biotechnological researches. The immobilization of DNA onto a substrate is one key step for construction of DNA electrochemical biosensors. In this report, a direct approach has been described for immobilization of single strand DNA onto carboxylic acid-functionalize...

The variables affecting determination of ultra trace levels of uranium (VI) in aqueous samples by differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetry were examined in detail using Hg-thin film modified carbon paste and multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) incorporated carbon paste electrode. Carbon paste electrode prepared in the laboratory was modified with Hg thin film and used as the working elec...

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were covalently modified with different molecular weights 400 and 2000 poly(oxyalkylene)-amine bearing DGEBA epoxy (POA400-DGEBA and POA2000-DGEBA) oligomers via a grafting method. The weight-average molecular weights of POA400-DGEBA and POA2000-DGEBA were measured as 1623 and 9231 with polydispersity indices (PDIs) of 2.3 and 1.6, respectively. The oxidize...
