On solid surfaces immersed in a liquid medium, a biofilm layer which is called biofouling formed over time by organic molecules and microorganisms. It is important to produce new eco-friendly ideas can prevent this undesired phenome. In this study, we focused on the antifouling performance of polyaniline (PANI), whose anticorrosive properties have been already known.

In this study, the effect of amperometric glucose biosensor construction and using conditions on the current response was investigated in detail applying experimental design. Polyaniline (PANI) was synthesized on the carbon paste electrode (CPE) surface using the cyclic voltammetry technique in sodium oxalate (NaO ) electrolyte medium, and an amperometric biosensor was constructed by immobilizing glucose oxidase (GOD). Biosensor preparation (aniline, GOD and NaO concentrations, and scan rate) and operating conditions (pH and applied potential) were optimized by Box-Behnken and optimal designs, respectively, via State Ease Design Expert 7.

GOD was immobilized onto polypyrrole (PPy) or poly(o-anisidine) (POA) coated Pt electrode to construct glucose sensitive biosensor. Because polymer film properties and enzyme activity affect the current response, PPy and POA synthesis conditions and also enzyme immobilization parameters were optimized in detail. The optimal monomer concentrations were determined as 25 and 50 mM for PPy and POA, respectively, whereas scan rate was 50 mV/s for both polymer films.

In this study, zinc-nickel (ZnNi) particles were electrochemically deposited on carbon steel (CS) electrode applying constant current of 1 mA with chronopotentiometry technique. Poly(N-methylpyrrole) (PNMP) film on CS/ZnNi electrode was synthesized with cyclic voltammetry technique from 0.10 M N-methylpyrrole containing 0.

Zinc-iron (ZnFe) and zinc-iron-cobalt (ZnFeCo) platings were achieved on carbon steel applying 3 mA current values. Then, oxalate (OX) and tartrate (Tart) passive layers obtained in sodium oxalate and sodium tartrate medium were formed on carbon steel, ZnFe and ZnFeCo plated carbon steel. SEM images showed that the passive layers on CS, CS/ZnFe and CS/ZnFeCo electrodes exhibited different crystal structures.
