A novel biocompatible copolymer enhances glucose sensor performance by preventing protein adsorption and improving substrate adhesion. This leads to improved haemocompatibility and extended stability for real-time clinical monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Sensor Technology

Background:

  • Development of advanced materials for implantable medical devices is crucial for patient safety and device longevity.
  • Protein adsorption on sensor surfaces can lead to biofouling and reduced device functionality.
  • Improving the biocompatibility of glucose sensors is essential for effective clinical real-time monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize a new biocompatible copolymer for use in electrochemical enzyme-based glucose sensors.
  • To evaluate the copolymer's ability to prevent protein adsorption and enhance adhesion to polyurethane substrates.
  • To assess the performance and stability of a glucose sensor utilizing the new copolymer for in vitro and in vivo applications.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of a novel three-segment copolymer featuring a phosphorylcholine head group for protein rejection and segments for polyurethane affinity.
  • Attachment testing using peel and solution circulation methods.
  • Electrochemical enzyme-based glucose sensor fabrication with the copolymer as the outermost layer and polyurethane as the diffusion-limiting membrane.
  • In vitro stability testing in bovine serum and in vivo testing in animal models.

Main Results:

  • The synthesized copolymer demonstrated strong attachment to polyurethane substrates.
  • The glucose sensor exhibited extended linearity up to 50 mM glucose and maintained stable output for 70 hours in bovine serum.
  • In vivo tests showed a steady current signal and rapid transient response to glucose concentration changes.
  • The copolymer coating significantly improved the haemocompatibility of the glucose sensor.

Conclusions:

  • The new biocompatible copolymer effectively enhances glucose sensor performance by improving haemocompatibility and operational stability.
  • The material's anti-fouling and substrate-adhesion properties make it suitable for implantable glucose sensors.
  • This copolymer holds potential for broader applications in other implantable biomedical devices.
