Journal Article
BHAVSAR, K., PRABHU, R. and POLLARD, P. 2014. Investigations on surface wettability of ZnO nanowires using UV LEDs for biosensing applications. IOP conference series: materials science and engineering [online], 64, Article 012033. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1088/1757-899X/64/1/012033

ZnO is a biocompatible material suitable for biosensors and microfluidic devices. Nanowires of ZnO tend to show hydrophobic nature which decelerates the adhesion/adsorption of biomolecules on the surface. This paper discusses the investigations on tu...
