This method enables the fast detection of proteins having opposite charge to the overlayer, and also the effective discrimination of differently charged proteins like lysozyme (LYS) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). More specifically, as sensitive materials here was used the block and the random copolymers of the same monomers, namely the block copolymer poly(styrene-b-2vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P2VP) and the corresponding random polymer poly(styrene-r-2-vinylpyridine) (PS-r-P2VP), of similar composition and roughly similar molecular weight. Moreover, this work focused on the comparison of the aforementioned sensitive materials regarding the way in which they can adapt on sensing optical platforms and constitute functional sensing bio-materials. 8 pp. LOMv1.0 creator LOMv1.0subject matter expert 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 767900 application/pdf http://repository.edulll.gr/edulll/bitstream/10795/1596/2/1596_Proc%20SPIE%202014%2089830I.pdf URI http://hdl.handle.net/10795/1596 LOMv1.0creator 2016-01-25T12:01:45Z LOMv1.0validator 2016-01-25T12:01:45Z LOMv1.0 gre no no Copyright EYD-EPEDBM (Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning")
