[ Content ]

Carbon nanofibers are expected to be a novel material for energy, biotechnology and electronics areas due to their high electron conductivity. Among various types of carbon nanofibers, we are specifically focusing on cup-stack type carbon nanofibers on the surfaces of which there are many graphite structure-derived edges that can be utilized to further functionalization and electron transfer. The objective is to investigate their applications in advanced biosensing devices using enzymes and cells.
