The question behind this study
DNA nanolinkers connect carbon nanotubes into microfibers whose structure and electrochemical response change with pH. The study explores these hybrid fibers for electrochemical actuation and hydrogen-peroxide sensing.
What the study shows
i-motif DNA links a single-walled carbon-nanotube (SWCNT) network, changing the hybrid microfiber’s structural and electrochemical response to pH.
The conclusion and experimental section describe wet spinning, pH response, electrochemical actuation and hydrogen-peroxide sensing.
