The present invention relates to a
hybrid structure for sensors comprising
copper oxide nanoparticles, a conductive film layer made of stainless steel, and a flexible polymeric substrate. In addition, the invention also discloses a technological process for manufacturing said
hybrid structure, which, owing to the specific properties of
copper(II)
oxide nanoparticles, may be used as the functional and / or sensing part of an electrochemical sensor for applications in a range of industries, including, but not limited to, the medical, food and agricultural sectors.
