A Review on Synthesis and Characterization of Nanostructured Conducting Polymers (NSCP) and Application in Biosensors

The development of nanostructured conducting polymers has opened up novel fundamental and applied frontiers. The present article reviews recent works dealing with synthesis, characterization of nanostructured conducting polymers, and their applications related to biosensors. Various synthesis strategies, mechanism and process parameters, along with their characterization techniques are discussed. Some potential areas for biosensor related applications of nanostructured conducting polymers are highlighted, including catalytic biosensors and bioaffinity biosensors.
