Zusammenfassung:A NON-ENZYMATIC BIOSENSOR BASED ON SELECTIVE VOLTAMMETRY USING FUNCTIONALIZED HYBRID SOLGEL IN ITS ELECTRODE IS PROPOSED. A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE ELECTRODE COMPRISES A CONDUCTOR LAYER (3) WHICH IS DISPOSED ON A SUBSTRATE (2), CARBON NANOTUBES (CNT) (5) WHICH ARE DISPOSED ON AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE CONDUCTOR LAYER (3) SUCH THAT THE CNT'S BASAL (5A) AND DISTAL ENDS (5B) ARE RESPECTIVELY DISPOSED IN BETWEEN THE CONDUCTOR LAYER (3) AND A CNT-FERROCENE SOLGEL COMPOSITE (6) DEPOSITED ONTO THE DISTAL END (5B) OF THE CNT (5) WITHIN A DAM STRUCTURE (7). THE CONDUCTOR LAYER (3) MAY BE SILVER, PLATINUM, GOLD OR CARBON. PREFERABLY, A CATALYST SUPPORT (4) IS DEPOSITED ON THE SUBSTRATE (2) AND A LIQUID-FORM NICKEL CATALYST IS DEPOSITED ON THE CATALYST SUPPORT. THE CNT-FERROCENE SOLGEL COMPOSITE IS MADE BY VIGOROUSLY MIXING (BY WEIGHT) CNT 10-35%, TETRAETHYLORTHOSILICATE 20-40%, METHYLTRI-ETHOXYSILICON 20-40%, PHENYLTRIETHOXYSILICON 20-40%; AND FERROCENE 0.1 TO 10%. THE MIXTURE IS SONICATED FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE AND THEN LEFT TO STAND FOR ABOUT 20 HOURS.
