A new type of poly(toluidine blue O)/multiwall carbon nanotube (PTBO/MWNTs) composite nanowires was fabricated by two steps: first, the TBO monomer was assembled onto multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) to form TBO/MWNTs adduct. Then, the obtained TBO/MWNTs adduct was electropolymerized on a glassy c...
