Flexible Electrochemical Transducer Platform for Neurotransmitters.

ABSTRACT: We have designed a flexible electrochemical transducer film based on PEDOT-titania-poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PTS) for the simultaneous detection of neurotransmitters. PTS films were characterized using various techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, four probe electrical conductivity, ac-impedance, and thermomechanical stability. The electrocatalytic behavior of the flexible PTS film toward the oxidation of neurotransmitters was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. The fabricated transducer measured a limit of detection of 100 nm ± 5 with a response time of 15 s and a sensitivity of 63 μA mM^-1 cm^-2. The fabricated transducer film demonstrated for the simultaneous det
