Paper surface modification strategies employing N-SBA-15/polymer composites in bioanalytical sensor design [PDF]
In this work, different paper surface modification strategies were compared to obtain an amine functionalized SBA-15 (N-SBA-15) composite for paper-based device development. The synthesized N-SBA-15 was characterized by N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherm,
