Investigation of Methacryloyl‐Modified Gelatin‐Based Hydrogels for Inkjet‐Printed Biosensors and Their Adherence to Polyethylene Terephthalate and Oriented Polypropylene Substrates
Functionalized polymer substrates enhance adherence of hydrogel biosensors in point-of-care testing, suggesting improved diagnostics.
Key Points
Hydrogel biosensors exhibit effective adherence on polyethylene terephthalate and oriented polypropylene substrates, facilitating pathogen detection.
Testing of hydrogel formulations revealed optimal conditions with 3.5% biopolymer and 0.0875% photoinitiator, tailored for inkjet printing.
Observational analysis using piezoelectric printing demonstrated superb hydrogel stability and adherence to functionalized surfaces for diagnostic applications.
Advancements in biosensor technology may enable multiplexed pathogen detection, addressing critical gaps in rapid testing capabilities.
