Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Modified with an MWCNT Nanocomposite for the Fabrication of a Barbital Solid-Contact Ion-Selective Electrode.

For potentiometric sensing of barbital (BAR), unique micro-sized imprinted polymer/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-based sensors are introduced. MWCNT is a lipophilic ion-to-electron transducing substance. A synthetic, described, and integrated barbital sodium molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) was used as a recognition receptor for potentiometric transduction in a plasticized polyvinyl chloride membrane.

All-Solid-State Potentiometric Platforms Modified with a Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Fluoxetine Determination.

Novel cost-effective screen-printed potentiometric platforms for simple, fast, and accurate assessment of Fluoxetine (FLX) were designed and characterized. The potentiometric platforms integrate both the FLX sensor and the reference Ag/AgCl electrode. The sensors were based on the use of 4'-nitrobenzo-15-crown-5 (ionophore I), dibenzo-18-crown-6 (ionophore II), and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2-HP-β-CD) (ionophore III) as neutral carriers within a plasticized PVC matrix.
