The thesis by Merce Pacios exploits properties of carbon nanotubes
to design novel nanodevices. The prominent electrochemical
properties of carbon nanotubes are used to design diverse electrode
configurations. In combination with the chemical properties and
(bio)functionalization versatility, these materials prove to be
very appropriate for the development of electrochemical biosensors.
Furthermore, this work also evaluates the semiconductor character
of carbon nanotubes (CNT) for sensor technology by using a field
effect transistor configuration (FET). The CNT-FET device has been
optimized for operating in liquid environments. These
electrochemical and electronic CNT devices are highly promising for
biomolecule sensing and for the monitoring of biological processes,
which can in the future lead to applications for rapid and simple
diagnostics in fields such as biotechnology, clinical and
environmental research.
