An electrochemical glucose biosensor exploiting a polyaniline grafted multiwalled carbon nanotube/perfluorosulfonate ionomer–silica nanocomposite

A glucose biosensor was fabricated with loading of glucose oxidase (GOx) into a new organic–inorganic hybrid nanocomposite. The preparation involves formation of silica network into a Nafion (perfluorosulfonate ionomer) and subsequent loading of polyaniline grafted multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-g-PANI) onto Nafion–silica nanocomposite. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) of Nafion–silica/MWNT-g-PANI composite reveals the...
