New paper out in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces πΊπΈπ§ͺπ§βπ§βπ§βπ§ππ§±πππ. In a collaborative effort with our friends at AFRLβοΈ, a mechanistic study was performed to determine how the chemistry of peptide-functionalized CNTs influence their properties in detecting low concentrations of volatile organic compounds. Using a range of interface characterization techniques, we determine that peptides side chain chemistry and displacement mobility of the peptide at the CNT interface is critical for determining sensing response, even more so than similarities in polarity and dielectric properties π€π§π¬.
