Abstract: A process for producing a sensor component for detecting an analyte; a sensor component producible by the process; a process for detecting an analyte; and a device comprising the sensor component.
The process comprises electrochemically growing a plurality of conducting polymer molecules from a monomer electrolyte solution to provide a percolation network.
The plurality of conducting polymer molecules are grown on the surface of an insulating substrate to connect a first electrode to a second electrode and are capable of displaying a change in an electrical property in response to interaction with an analyte
A plurality of conductive nodes may be disposed on a surface of the insulating substrate.
A potentiostatic method or a galvanostatic method may be employed to grow the plurality of conducting polymers. Chronoamperometry may be employed to electrochemically grow the plurality of conducting polymers. Cyclic voltammetry is not employed to grow the plurality of conducting polymers.
