Chemical synthesis conducting polymer sensors

Abstract Conductive polymers are established materials for development of chemical and biological sensors. Properties of these polymers are influenced by a number of different physical and chemical factors. Application of combinatorial and high-throughput techniques to development and optimization of chemo and biosensors is reviewed. Methods for addressable synthesis of conductive polymers and protocols for comprehensive description of chemosensitive properties are discussed. 

The effects of chemical structure on polymer film properties and applications were reviewed. The uses of conductive polymers in the bioanalytical sciences and in biosensor applications were investigated. Synthesis, characterization, and applications of CPs were reported, and the main aspects of CPs in chemical sensors and biosensors were covered. The advantages and limitations of conductive polymers for different biomedical applications like tissue engineering, biosensors, drug delivery, and bioactuators were reported. Different preparation methods for conductive polymers and the use of conductive pol5miers for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications were reviewed. ... 

He has pubhshed approximately 50 papers in international peer-reviewed journals and two book chapters. Dr. Terzi has been invited to hold seminars and to be Guest Editor for special issues of international journals. He visited the Laboratory of Materials Chemistry and Chemical Analysis (University of Turku, Finland) and the Department of Chemistry (University of Oxford, UK) in order to broaden his knowledge on surface characterization techniques. His main scientific interests are (i) the modification of electrode surfaces using conducting polymers, self-assembled monolayers, (nano)particles, and graphene (ii) the spectroscopic and microscopic characterization of the electrode coatings (iii) the synthesis and characterization of (nano)particles (iv) electrocatalysis applied to amperometric sensors.
