Carbon nanotubes exhibit excellent properties which make them a good candidate as the electrode material for bioapplications. A soluble functionalized carbon nanotube/poly(vinyl alcohol) nanocomposite was synthesized via esterification reactions. The obtained nanocomposite exhibits significantly improved electrical conductivity. Nanocomposite-based electrodes were prepared by a thick film technique and their performances were electrochemically characterized. After enzyme immobilization, they can be used as biosensors for glucose detection. Preliminary results show these nanotube composite-based electrodes exhibit good electrochemical performance for glucose detection. Comparison was also made between graphite and nanocomposite-based electrodes.
