Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based microgels are stimuli-responsive materials.
  • Ferrocene is an electroactive moiety with tunable redox properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize ferrocene-modified microgels.
  • To develop optical devices (etalons) for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) detection.
  • To investigate the use of these devices for quantifying products of enzymatic reactions.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis and characterization of ferrocene-modified poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels.
  • Construction of optical etalon devices.
  • Investigation of microgel and etalon response to H2O2 using UV-Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry.
  • Demonstration of H2O2 quantification from glucose oxidation catalyzed by glucose oxidase.

Main Results:

  • Microgel diameter and etalon optical properties showed concentration-dependent responses to H2O2 (0.6–35 mM).
  • Ferrocene oxidation directly influenced microgel diameter, confirmed by electrochemical studies.
  • The etalon system successfully quantified H2O2 generated from enzymatic glucose oxidation.
  • The developed devices demonstrated reusability through a regeneration process.

Conclusions:

  • Ferrocene-modified microgel-based etalons offer a versatile platform for detecting H2O2.
  • The system enables quantification of biologically relevant species generated from enzymatic reactions.
  • These optical devices present a promising approach for biosensing applications.
