Objectives
- to develop protocols and make 3D conducting nanostructures with controlled nanodimensions, surface chemistries and surface energies/curvatures for efficient performance of enzymes incorporated into 3D nanostructures
- to electronically wire glucose oxidising and oxygen reducing enzymes in 3D structures for generation of electrical power higher than 0.3 mW cm-2
- to construct glucose oxidising and oxygen reducing 3D nanobiodevices which retain 80% performance characteristics in complex biological and cell culture fluids as compared with simple buffer solutions
- to manufacture 3D-based self contained proof-of-concept biomedical devices consisting of a glucose/oxygen sensor, a biofuel cell and a wireless signal transmitter
- to demonstrate wireless monitoring of glucose and oxygen in biological fluids, wounds, and cell cultures
