Abstract We present the design of a chemical sensor and study the generation of electrical signals produced by the formation of a cyclodextrin inclusion complex. Flexible poly(dimethylsiloxane)/graphene hybrid composites were used as sensor substrates and sensing media, beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) molecules were incorporated using simple bio-coupling reactions. The feasibility of sensing molecules through the formation of beta-CD/analyte inclusion complexes was investigated systematically using direct electrical measurement. The acquisition and transduction of electrical signals generated by inclusion complex formation is a central focus of this study and extensive complementary experiments were carried out to characterize this phenomenon. Because it is useful for development of a sort of sensor system, electrical measurements were performed to measure the sensitivity of this system (10 nM). However, more study is required to determine the selectivity.

Introduction Electronic sensors are used widely because they are convenient, portable, multi-functional, and easily managed1,2. The range of sensor applications has expanded rapidly in recent years, and new measurement concepts are regularly reported3-6. Electronic sensors are used to measure changes in chemical7,8, physical9-11, electronic12, and biological13,14 properties, and interactions between the sensing media and analyte molecules have been investigated15. Whie electrical signals can be generated by many pathways such as ionic and polar interactions, signal generation by relatively weak interactions has recently drawn interests. But, this signal is so s
