Polydipyrrole- and polydicarbazole-nanorods as new nanosized supports for DNA hybridization

Abstract

Novel functional polydipyrrole- and polydicarbazole nanorods have been AAO template-synthesized from COOH-dipyrrole/-dicarbazole monomers using Vapor Deposition and Liquid Phase Polymerizations (VDP and LPP). They were tested as insoluble supports for covalent DNA attachment and hybridization.
