Functionalization of the conjugated polymers has gained considerable interest in the biomedical engineering and biosensing applications as distinct properties can be imparted to the corresponding pristine analogues. In the present work, we report a novel sensing platform for the quantification of ethanol through a macromolecular design involving polyfluorene-g-poly(ethylene glycol) (PF-g-PEG) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). First, poly(ethylene glycol) with fluorene functionality (PEG-FL) was synthesized with a one-step procedure and characterized. The nanotube modified electrodes were then used as working electrodes for the electropolymerization of PEG-FL macromonomer to form PF-g-PEG films on the electrode surface. Finally, alcohol oxidase enzyme was immobilized on the modified surfaces. Similar devices without MWCNTs or PF-g-PEG were prepared and compared. Sensor properties for selective ethanol detection were investigated and it was found that PF-g-PEG modified MWCNTs exhibited the highest sensing ability. The potential practical application of the fabricated biosensor is demonstrated in alcoholic drinks for the analysis of ethanol contents.

Fabrication of a promising immobilization platform based on electrochemical synthesis of a conjugated polymer Buber, Ece; SÖYLEMEZ, SANİYE; UDUM, YASEMİN; Toppare, Levent Kamil (2018-07-01) Since conjugated polymers are an important class of materials with remarkable properties in biosensor applications, in this study, a novel glucose biosensor based on a conjugated polymer was fabricated via the electropolymerization of the monomer 10,13-bis(4-hexylthiophen-2-yl)dipyridol[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine onto a graphite electrode surface. Glucose oxidase (GOx) was used as the model biological recognition element. As a result of the enzymatic reaction between GOx and glucose, the glucose amount was det...
A novel multi-electrochromic polymer based on selenophene and benzotriazole via electrochemical and chemical polymerization Demir, Fatma; Keles, Duygu; Karabag, Aliekber; Çırpan, Ali; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Informa UK Limited, 2019-03-04) In this study, a novel donor-acceptor type monomer was designed based on selenophene and benzotriazole with a bulky pendant group and synthesized through Stille coupling reaction. The monomer was polymerized electrochemically by using cyclic voltammetry and also chemically by oxidation in the presence of FeCl3. Both polymers were then compared in terms of their optical properties, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical behaviors, kinetic and colorimetric properties and surface morphologies. Independent ...
A functional immobilization matrix based on a conducting polymer and functionalized gold nanoparticles: Synthesis and its application as an amperometric glucose biosensor Kesik, Melis; Kanik, Fulya Ekiz; Hizalan, Gonul; Kozanoglu, Duygu; Nalbant Esentürk, Emren; Timur, Suna; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2013-08-02) Combination of nanoparticles and biomolecules attracted considerable attention in biosensing applications. In this study, effective surface design was investigated by modifying the electrode surface with pristine and functionalized gold nanoparticles. For this purpose, spherical gold nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized with UV-vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses. Then, gold nanoparticles were modified with mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) yielding Au-S bonds (Au NPs...
A new soluble conducting polymer and its electrochromic devices YİLDİZ, UMİT HAKAN; SAHİN, ELİF; Akhmedov, IM; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 2006-04-01) A new polythiophene derivative was synthesized by both chemical and electrochemical oxidative polymerization of 1-(1-phenylethyl)-2,5-di(2-thienyl)-1H-pyrrole (PETPy). Of which the chemical method produces a polymer that is completely soluble in organic solvents. The structures of both the monomer and the soluble polymer were elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1 and C-13 NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The average molecular weight has been determined by gel permeation chrom...
A COMPUTATIONAL STUDY ON SOME SELENIUM-CONTAINING NAPHTHALENE DERIVATIVES Türker, Burhan Lemi (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) A quantum chemical study, based on DFT theory is presented which considers certain selenium-containing naphthalene derivatives, including a keto group together with a Se atom embedded in either a five- or six-membered ring fused with naphthalene moiety. The corresponding enol structures also are considered. The quantum chemical and IR data collected are analyzed and NICS(0) values have been obtained.
