Electropolymerization studies of conjugated monomers and their biosensor applications

(2020) Electropolymerization studies of conjugated monomers and their biosensor applications. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Dr Supreetha has used an effective technique called electropolymerization to synthesise the highly stable Conjugated Polymer Films directly on the surface of various conducting substrates such as Glassy Carbon (GC), Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) and Flexible ITO (FITO) using a range of bifunctional and trifunctional monomers. These Electrodeposited conducting polymer thin films are directly utilised for capturing various biomolecules due to higher surface area and greater sensitivity. A customised 3D Microporous polymer film is evidenced to detect clinically relevant Ovarian Cancer Biomarker miRNA and Nucleic Acid. This thesis has demonstrated the development of highly sensitive Genosensing Platform.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
