Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are proving to be very effective in development of synthetic recognition systems and are of great interest to those interested in the field of sensor technology. The use of MIPs is receiving considerable interest due to the ability to prepare recognition matrices that possess high substrate selectivity and specificity. Conducting polymers (CP) have proved to be an excellent tool for the preparation of nano-structured biologically selective systems. Polypyrrole (Ppy) is one such CP that is extensively used for the construction of bioanalytical sensors. Ppy has shown great promise primarily due to its biocompatibility and thermal stability …
