| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Molecular structure of the boronic acid monomer was modified to improve glucose sensitivity. Saccharide sensors were prepared on a pattern-printed microscope slide as a thin film containing newly synthesized boronic acid monomer units. By examining responsiveness against saccharides, it was found that introduction of hydroxylmethyl group onto the aromatic ring of the boronic acid is effective for sensitivity improvement.
The boronic acid-containing thin film was applied for sensing of hydrogen peroxide. By changing monomer composition and dye, variety of color change was realized.
Hypochlorite sensors were also developed. After thoroughly tuning functionality of the thin film, distinct color change appeared.
