33. While the nanoelectrodes cannot be individually addressed, it is possible to pattern the polymer film and the underlying Au film. This should enable very small regions of the nanoelectrode array to be addressed, offering the potential for the films to act as multisensing devices.

36. Higher scan rate studies were not performed due to phenomena arising from uncompensated resistance effects.
37. The higher capacitance of the NEA could arise from three different effects: (a) the polystyrene matrix is not perfectly sealed to the Au surface; (b) the pores are not perfectly cylindrical at the interface; (c) boundary effects on capacitance.
