Biosensor Applications

Silicon Carbide is mainly used for power semiconductor devices fabrication. However, SiC material also offers attractive properties for other types of applications, such as high temperature sensors and biomedical devices. Micro-electrodes arrays are one of the leading biosensor applications. Semi-insulating SiC can be used to implement these devices, offering higher performances than Silicon. In addition, it can be combined with Carbon Nanotubes growth technology to improve the devices sensing performances. Other biosensors were SiC could be used are microfluidic based devices. However, improvement of SiCOI starting material is necessary to fulfill the typical requirements of such applications.

Insight Into

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown much promise in neurobiology and biomedicine. Their structural stability and ease of chemical modification make them compatible for biological applications. In this review, we discuss the effects that chemically functionalized CNTs, applied as colloidal solutes or used as strata, have on the morpho-functional properties of astrocytes, the most abundant cells present in the brain, with an insight into the potential use of CNTs in neural prostheses.

Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) is one of the most popular thermoresponsive polymers. Adsorption of RecA proteins onto hybrids of PNIPAAm and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was observed in the presence and absence of DNA molecules. Although RecA molecules were adsorbed efficiently onto the hybrid surfaces at 37°C, even in the absence of DNA molecules, the adsorption of RecA was inhibited at 4°C. These results suggest that the thermoresponsive functions of PNIPAAm were effective, even on the SWNT surfaces, which supports the possibility of developing nanobiodevices using PNIPAAm-SWNT hybrids. However, although RecA is a DNA binding protein, there was no significant difference in the adsorption of RecA onto PNIPAAm-SWNT surfaces with and without DNA molecules. This study provides fundamental information for potential biological applications of PNIPAAm-SWNT hybrids.
