Advancing Glucose Sensing Through Auto‐Fluorescent Polymer Brushes: From Surface Design to Nano‐Arrays (Small 22/2024)

Glucose Sensing In article number 2309040, Gozde Aktas Eken, Jürgen Rühe, Christopher Ober, and co-workers prepared a practical sensory interface for glucose detection through nanopatterned auto-fluorescent polymer brushes decorated with phenylboronic acid receptors. Glucose-responsive luminescent polymer brushes, which are capable of translating conformational transitions triggered by pH variations and binding events into fluorescent readouts without the need for fluorescent dyes, hold potential for medical and bioelectronic applications such as fabrication of miniaturized sensors, micro- or nanofluidic devices and biochips.
