Nanotechnology & Smart Materials 2018
Since the traditional analytical techniques are costly and need trained staff,
research is focused on the development of easy analytical methods in
order to overcome the increase in needs especially in food security. For this
purpose, there are several reports aiming to improve these methods or explore
novel strategies for its product detection. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) can
be functionalized with biology compounds (streptavidin, avidin-AuNPs for
instance), and designed to signal for a selective contaminant detection. Most
of these complexes can cause clusterization of biology compound-AuNPs
and leads to a color change of the solution from red to blue (Figure 1). This
visual detection scheme which does not require any fluorescent reagents
and detection instruments can hold promise in point of care and food testing,
particularly in resource-limited regions
Biography
Essy Kouadio Fodjo has received his PhD degree (2013)
in Analytical Chemistry under the supervision of Prof Yitao
Long from East China University of Science and Technology
(Shanghai, China). After completion of PhD, he has been
awarded as Visiting Scientist in Analytical Chemistry based
on Nanotechnology at Abdullah Gull University by TUBITAK
(Turkey). He acts as Project Leader supported by Third World
Academy of Sciences (TWAS) for the project entitled Selective-
Size synthesis of Silver Nanomaterials AgAux (Fe∏O∏)y,
under the Research Grant No 16-510 RG/CHE/AF/AC_G–
FR3240293301. His research is mainly focused on Analytical
Chemistry based on Nanotechnology, whose background
is built after years of experience in research, evaluation and
teaching both in study tours and education institution (Felix
Houphouet-Boigny University). He has published more than
20 papers in reputed journals such as Journal of Materials
Chemistry, Materials Chemistry and Physics and Applied Surface
Science.
