Among those several different types of transducers based on CNTs, the CNT-composite electrode, which was the first CNT electrode tested in 1996, is still widely used with different composite materials such as conducting polymers, nanoparticles, sol-gel, etc. The usefulness of these electrodes is based on their high sensitivity, quick response, good reproducibility, and particularly long-term stability. We expect to see continued research activities using CNT-composite electrodes.

Shea and colleagues [109-111] added an exciting contribution to this field They created molecular imprints for the peptide melittin, the main component of bee venom, in polymer nanoparticles, resulting in artificial antibody mimics that can be used for the in vivo capture and neutralization of melittin. Melittin is a peptide comprising 26 amino acids which is toxic because of its cytolytic activity. Shea and colleagues strategy was to synthesize cross-linked, acrylamide-based MIP nanoparticles by a process based on precipitation polymerization using a small amount of surfactant. To maximize the specificity and the affinity for melittin, a number of hydrophilic monomers were screened for complementarity with the template. The imprinted nanoparticles were able to bind selectively the peptide with an apparent dissociation constant of Ax>app > 1 nM [109].

Electrostatic assembly, which involves attractive forces between two oppositely charged entities (polymers, nanoparticles, and substrates), has been proposed in the pioneering work of Her for the assembly of two- and three-dimensional structures.22 The LbL assembly of charged polyelectrolytes was later reported by Decher et al. for the fabrication of multilayer films of polyelectrolytes.10 23 Their technique is based on the consecutive adsorption of polyanions and polycations from dilute aqueous solutions onto a charged substrate (Fig. 13.2). 

Wolf et al. introduced the self-assembly, transfer, and integration (S ATI) of nanoparticles with high placement accuracy.86 87 Silica and polymer nanoparticles were positioned on a PDMS stamp through convective assembly (Fig. 13.14). By controlling the printing temperature or by using a thin polymer layer as an adhesion layer, nanoparticles of different shapes and sizes were printed onto the target substrate.
