Abstract

Bisphenol A with the IUPAC name 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propane is a toxic organic compound that widely applied in different products such as beverage and food can, epoxy resins and polycarbonate materials. In the current chapter, the recent development for the preparation of sensors based on functionalized carbon nanotubes for the removal of bisphenol A is presented. Different functional groups such as inorganic nanoparticles, alumina, graphene oxide, alginate, magnetic nanoparticles, and polymers could be supported on the surface of carbon nanotubes. The pointed sensors based on functionalized carbon nanotubes showed good selectivity, reproducibility, sensitivity for the determination of bisphenol A in real samples including food package, environmental water, and milk samples. © 2020 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
