For the first time this study reported the success of using nanocrystalline hexagonal close-packed (hcp) nickel (Ni) modified composite graphite (CG) electrode (hcp-nano Ni/CG) for the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol in alkaline medium (0.1 M KOH). The hcp-nano Ni/CG electrode had an improve response and specificity on the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol over the bare CG. The elec...

The conducting polymer films have been widely applied in the field of electrochemistry owing to their goodstability, permselectivity, unique physical and chemical properties. A novel nano-Au/poly (4-aminobenzoicacid) (PABA) film modified carbon paste electrode was fabricated for sensitive detection of acetaminophenin this paper. The PABA film and nano-Au/PABA film were characterized by scanning...

In this work, we have developed a thermal sensor based on poly(3,4 ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nano lms as thermoelectric material. The PEDOT nano lms have been synthesized by the electrochemical polymerization method. The thicknesses of the lms were around 120 nm. The doping level of PEDOT was controlled by chemical reduction using hydrazine. The achieved Seebeck coefficient is 40 μV/K. A ...

Nanorobotics is currently a much studied field by the international scientific world. Numerous applications of nanorobotics make it to expand in several areas. This occurs through the integration of several disciplines, including nanofabrication processes used to produce nanorobots, nanoactuators, nano-sensors and nanometer scale physical modeling. Some of the most important applications of nan...

We propose a novel and highly sensitive integrated read-out scheme, capable of detecting sub-nanometre deflections of a cantilever in close proximity to a grated waveguide structure. A very compact and stable sensor element can be realized by monolithically integrating a microcantilever structure with the grated waveguide (GWG), using conventional layer deposition and sacrificial layer etching ...

Optical energy can be harnessed on the nanoscale by exploiting plasmonic resonances in metallic nanostructures. These resonances are the result of the unique optical properties of metals and their abundance of conduction electrons. Utilizing these properties, it is possible to engineer metallic nano-devices that operate with large electric field intensities confined in and around the structure....

This paper proposes non-fragile compliant humidity sensors that can be fabricated inexpensively on various types of nano-porous polymer membranes such as polycarbonate, cellulose acetate, and nylon membranes. The sensor contains a pair of interdigitated electrodes deposited on the nano-porous polymer membranes. The resistance and/or capacitance between these electrodes vary at different humidit...

In this work, we present a computational methodology for predicting the change in signal (conductance sensitivity) of a nano-BioFET sensor (a sensor based on a biomolecule binding another biomolecule attached to a nano-wire field effect transistor) upon binding its target molecule. The methodology is a combination of the screening model of surface charge sensors in liquids developed by Brandbyg...
