Abstract
Additive manufacturing is an emerging tool that has contributed to the sustainable fabrication of devices in several areas based on the concept of “zero waste”. Considering extrusionbased manufacturing (or 3D printing), polylactic acid (PLA) has been highlighted due to its biodegradability, obtention from renewable sources, and compatibility for 3D printing. Composites of PLA with conducting fillers, such as carbon-black (CB/PLA), are commercially-available and compatible with extrusion-based 3D printers and 3D pen. Herein, we investigate the electrochemical behavior of several antioxidant species (catechol, hydroquinone, propyl-gallate, octyl-gallate, dopamine, gallic acid and pyrogallol (PY)) on 3D-printed electrodes. Experiments by cyclic voltammetry demonstrated that electrochemical surface treatment in NaOH aqueous solution is an important strategy to improve the response of all antioxidants. Thus, PY was selected to evaluate the analytical performance of the proposed 3D-printed sensor. For this, a fast and simple method using batch-injection analysis with amperometric detection (BIA-AD) has been developed, which showed a limit of detection of 0.15 µmol L-1, wide linear range (0.5 to 300 µmol L-1), good precision (relative standard deviation (RSD) < 3.4%) and selectivity. This method was applied in biodiesel samples, after dilution (400-fold) in electrolyte. Recovery percentages ranging from 82 to 119% attested absence of matrix effect and good accuracy.
