Abstract
MCM-41 nanoparticles were prepared by in situ assembly of inorganic precursors and CTAB. The structure of nanoparticles was characterized by XRD, TEM, particle size analysis, N2 adsorption techniques. The surface modification of particles in order to perfect dispersion in polysulfone (PSf) matrix was performed by dimethyldichlorosilane (DMDCS) and aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) as new modification agents. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and SEM analysis were applied to investigate thermal stability, glass transition temperature and quality of distribution of particle in the nanocomposite membrane, respectively. The PDMS was used to coat the...

Abstract
A novel glucose biosensor based on chromophore (silver nanoparticles) decolorizing for the photometric determination of glucose was developed. Silver nanoparticles are directly synthesized in the sol-gel matrix by a one-step method based on the reduction of the inorganic precursor AgNO3 and were used for the preparation, characterization and calibration of a highly sensitive and cost-effective localized surface plasmon resonance-based glucose biosensor. In the presence of glucose oxidase (GOx) and due to the enzyme-substrate (glucose) reaction, H2O2 was produced and silver nanoparticles in the sol-gel glass have the ability for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Due to the degradation...
