Abstract

Monolayers of poly(3-dodecyl thiophene) (P3DT) have been obtained on indium–tin-oxide (ITO) coated glass plates by dispensing mixed solution of P3DT and stearic acid (SA) prepared in chloroform onto water subphase by a microsyringe. The pressure–area isotherms of these P3DT–SA monolayers were studied as a function of temperature and pH. The monolayer stability onto the water subphase has been experimentally studied at different temperatures, pH and surface pressure. These P3DT–SA monolayers fabricated onto the ITO-coated glass plates were characterized using FTIR and cyclic voltammetry studies. The desired enzyme monolayers were fabricated by dispensing glucose oxidase mixed with P3DT/SA in chloroform and were transferred onto desired ITO-coated glass. An attempt has been made to utilize these P3DT/SA/GOX LB films for fabrication of a glucose biosensor.
