Abstract
This paper deals for the first time with outstanding properties of CNT incorporated into an epoxy polymer, forming an epoxy composite hybrid material as a new electrode with improved electrochemical sensing properties. This novel CNT-epoxy composite is simple, cheap and results in interesting electrode material. The preparation and characterization of this multifunctional material is discussed, and electrochemical responses to important analytes are studied.
