Exploiting Natural Nanomaterials in Biosensor Technology

Research output: Contribution to conferenceConference paper (not formally published)peer-review

Abstract

Natural nanomaterials are spread in all zones of life on Earth and can be classified according to their size, shape, structure, and composition. Advances in instrumentation support the production of newly-created materials with tuned properties or modifying the existing ones. Biological (e.g., polymers, proteins) and chemical (e.g., graphene, carbon nanotubes) materials have been exploited to fabricate biosensing platforms due to their ability to provide well-organized templates that improve detection limit and specificity. Biosensors based on biological or chemical materials are capable of recognizing specific analytes and may detect the captured molecules quantitatively depending on the analytical technique. This presentation will be focusing on the fabrication of biosensors using chemical, biological and a combination of both nanomaterials for biosensing applications.
