We developed a novel mediator-type biosensor using plasma polymerization for BioMEMS applications. This technique enables a thin, crosslinked polymer film for improved electron transfer and rapid response times, paving the way for mass production.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Electrochemistry

Background:

  • Mediator-type biosensors are crucial for BioMEMS applications.
  • Existing fabrication methods can be complex and costly.
  • Need for robust, high-performance biosensor platforms compatible with mass production.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a new strategy for constructing mediator-type biosensors using plasma polymerization.
  • To develop a fabrication process compatible with mass production for BioMEMS.
  • To enhance biosensor performance through optimized polymer film properties.

Main Methods:

  • Plasma polymerization of vinylferrocene to create a thin, crosslinked redox film on electrodes.
  • Subsequent plasma process to deposit a hydrophilic acetonitrile layer for functionalization.
