Abstract

Pyrrole and DNA can be used for synthesis of conducting nanowires. Protonated pyrrole and negatively charged DNA are absorbed by electrostatic interaction. The level of absorbance is related to pH of pyrrole. Therefore, DNA immobilized and aligned on the 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysi1ane (APTES) modified Si surface. Positive pyrrole monomers was deposited on aligned DNA for the synthesis of nanowire in various pH condition. And polypyrrole nanowires were synthesized by polimerization with ammonium persulfate (APS). These polypyrrole nanowires were measured by AFM, and then we found optimal pH level for the synthesis of nanowires.
