    A warning issue of heart attacks in young adults needs immediate attention lately. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is an easy and commonly used method for detecting early stages of heart attack. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a responsible biomarker for acute myocardial infarction. However, the conventional ELISA system was only able to detect at 100 pM of cTnI. To improve the system, enhancements were introduced through the integration of functionalized carbon nanotube (fCNT) to amplify cTnI detection signals. By utilizing the advantage of fCNT, a noticeable improvement in results can be obtained. The detection limit was lowered down to an impressive 10 pM. Furthermore, the change of absorbance increased from 31.90% for conventional ELISA surge to 98.61 for modified ELISA system. This three-fold increase in sensitivity shows remarkable improvement through the introduction of fCNT in modified ELISA technique.

    Polyaniline/graphene oxide (PANI/GO) composites at different wt% of GO were prepared via solution method. PANI was mixed with the GO synthesized from the improved Hummer’s method. The formation of GO was confirmed via Raman and C/O ratio. Based on the FT-IR, XRD and SEM results, it confirmed the presence of both PANI and GO characteristics at 10.9°, 25.8° and 27.8° and interactions between PANI and GO particles in PANI/GO composites at different GO loading. SEM micrographs showed a folding and wrinkled surface of GO due to the defect upon oxidation process. This means that the weak π–π interactions or the agglomeration of GO have caused PANI unable to attach on the large conjugated basal planes of GO sheets. The defective domains made GO as an insulator as it contained distortions and oxygen-containing functional groups and their local decoration. Low-conductivity domain had conquered most of the GO region which later reduced the pathway of the current flow; therefore, conductivity is affected. The wrinkled structure also resulted in the low conductivity as it weakens the interfacial interaction between PANI and GO and thus disrupted the electron movement in the composites. Due to this, the electrical conductivity reached up to 1.83 × 10−10 S/cm as the GO loading increased to 50 wt%.

    Carbonized natural filler can offer the production of low cost composites with an eco-friendliness value. The evolving field of electronics encourages the exploration of more functions and potential for carbonized natural filler, such as by modifying its surface chemistry. In this work, we have performed surface modification on carbonized wood fiber (CWF) prior to it being used as filler in the ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) composite system. Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) with various contents (2 to 8 wt%) was used to surface modify the CWF and the effects of ZnCl2 composition on the surface morphology and chemistry of the CWF filler were investigated. Furthermore, the absorptive, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of the EVA composites containing CWF-ZnCl2 were also analyzed. SEM images indicated changes in the morphology of the CWF while FTIR analysis proved the presence of ZnCl2 functional groups in the CWF. EVA composites incorporating the CWF-ZnCl2 showed superior mechanical, thermal and electrical properties compared to the ones containing the CWF. The optimum content of ZnCl2 was found to be 6 wt%. Surface modification raised the electrical conductivity of the EVA/CWF composite through the development of conductive deposits in the porous structure of the CWF as a channel for ionic and electronic transfer between the CWF and EVA matrix.
