Synthetic Polypeptide Composites for Sensor Applications

Abstract

Due to technical difficulties, i.e., insolubility of the products, emphasis has been placed on modification of gelatin, using highly polar molecules, while trying to find a satisfactory solution to solubility problems. The modified gelatins have performed exceptionally well: even at this early stage samples show under bias response comparable to best polar polymer (PVF2) and competitive with the inorganic LiTaO3. Keywords: Biosensors; Polypeptide; Synthetic; Gelatin; Sensor; Pyroelectric; Piezo electric; Dielectric; Lithium; Tantalum.
