Characterization of polyaniline-coated magnetic nanoparticlesfor application in a disposable membrane strip biosensor
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2010
Abstract
We investigated the electrical properties of polyaniline-coated magnetic nanoparticles as a signal transducer for application in a disposable membrane strip biosensor. The size of these particles (~100 nm) was investigated by a transmission electron microscope. Electrical properties of these nanoparticles were investigated by four-point probe measurements and I-V measurements. Polyaniline-coated magnetic nanoparticles had a resistivity of 0.385 Ω cm and showed ohmic behavior. Resistance decreased with increasing concentration of polyaniline. We also demonstrated that the resistance decreased with increasing concentration of biotinylated IgG conjugated with these nanoparticles.
