Cotton fabrics were coated with Polyaniline (PANI), Polypyrrole (PPy) and with combinations of these two conducting polymers (double layer) Coated cotton fabrics were used as sensors to collect electrical response from Venus Flytrap plant PANI and PPy are regarded as mixed conductors having both ionic and electronic conduction [1-3] Paradigm of the use of conducting polymers in monitoring of plant neurobiology The method used is compared with the standard method Ag/AgCl electrode with conducting gel
Method (A) Clip electrode with coated cotton fabric (B) Non-polarizable Ag/AgCl surface electrode connected to the protruding strip of coated cotton fabric (C) Reference electrode (D) Plastic stick used for stimulation
Results Series of action potentials, PPy+PANI All cotton fabrics coated with PANI, PPy and their combinations have been able to collect and transfer the electrical response
Conclusions No significant differences among fabrics coated with different conducting polymers PANI, PPy, PANI+PPy, and PPy+PANI were observed: The trap (leaf) is a three-dimensional structure, contact area strongly varied during measurements from one another Even the lowest conductivity (single layer) is high enough for the recording of electrical signals in plants Cotton fabrics coated with conducting polymers are definitely comparable to the standard method: + Very good results at both single and series response monitoring + No need of conducting gel + No risk of tissue damage caused by the conducting gel + Simple and cost-effective preparation process - Slightly lower signal to noise ratio
