The implementation of this method is conducted by using a modified polymer optical fiber's (POF) surface and thin overlayers of properly designed sensitive copolymer materials with predesigned molecular characteristics. Block poly(styrene-b-2vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) and random poly(styrene-r-2vinylpyridine) (PS-r-P2VP) copolymers of the same monomers and similar molecular weights, were modified and used as sensing materials. This configuration proved to be efficient concerning the fast detection of charged proteins, and also the efficient discrimination of differently charged proteins such as lysozyme (LYS) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Results on the sensing performance of block and random copolymers are also discussed drawing conclusion on their efficiency given their considerable different fabrication cost. 11 pp. LOMv1.0 creator LOMv1.0subject matter expert LOMv1.0 publisher LOMv1.0 Project Final Beneficiary LOMv1.0 Project Executing Organisation 2014 Digital Library of the Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning" abstract types Text Block copolymers Random copolymers Optical Biosensors Proteins Fiber sensors 1075598 application/pdf http://repository.edulll.gr/edulll/bitstream/10795/1579/2/1579_J%20Polym%20Sci%20Part%20B%20Polym%20Phys%202015%20327.pdf URI http://hdl.handle.net/10795/1579 LOMv1.0creator 2016-01-22T12:18:02Z LOMv1.0validator 2016-01-22T12:18:02Z LOMv1.0 gre no no Copyright EYD-EPEDBM (Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning")
