The present work describes a study of the construction of an electrochemical sensor involving sol-gel process and molecular imprinting for detection of triclosan. The sol-gel process is a process in which a network is formed from a solution, by progressively changing a liquid precursor, from a sol to a gel and, in most cases, finally to a dry network. In turn, molecular imprinting is a method of induced formation of some predetermined selectivity recognition element for some template molecule. Thus, for the determination of the template molecule triclosan, 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-phenol, the following steps were performed: 1) verification of a glassy carbon electrode modified with chitosan and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and molecularly imprinted siloxanes, would be suitable for the voltammetric detection of triclosan; 2) to observe if a network would be formed with the sol-gel process and to evaluate the mechanical stability of the electrochemical sensor constructed; 3) to evaluate the modified electrode as an electrochemical sensor with selectivity, specificity and detection limit for the determination of triclosan in aqueous solutions; 4) to verify the applicability of the proposed sensor by detecting of triclosan oxidation in real samples. The results showed that glassy carbon electrode modified with chitosan, multi-walled carbon nanotubes and molecularly imprinted siloxanes, constructed by sol-gel and molecular imprinting processes, presented mechanical stability, sensitivity, selectivity, specificity and applicability as an electrochemical sensor for the detection of triclosan in commercial samples of physical moisturizer and of toothpaste.
