Poly (Amphiphilic Pyrr0Le)-PPO Electrodes for Organic-Phase Enzymatic Assay

Abstract
The utility of amphiphilic pyrrole monomers to elaborate stable organic-phase polymers containing enzyme is described. Four amphiphilic pyrrole monomers differing in the size of their ammonium groups were applied to the immobilization of a preadsorbed enzyme-monomer coating. The peiformances of the different biosensors towards the detection of catechol, 4-tert-butylcatechol and phenol have been examined in either anhydrous or wet chloroform solutions.
