Synthesis of a Functionalized Polypyrrole Coated Electrotextile for Use in Biosensors

An electrotextile with a biosensing focus composed of conductive polymer coated microfibers that contain functional attachment sites for biorecognition elements was developed. Experiments were conducted to select a compound with a pendant functional group for inclusion in the polymer, a fiber platfo...
