Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Glucose-sensitive multilayer thin films were prepared by a layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of phenylboronic acid (PBA)-bearing polyelectrolytes and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) on the surface of glucose oxidase (GOx)-modified quartz slide. PBA and PVA layers were connected with each other through boronate ester bonds while GOx was immobilized electrostatically interactions. The films were stable in wide pH range from 3.0 to 9.0 in the absence of glucose. In contrast, the films decomposed in the presence of glucose. The glucose-induced decomposition of the film can be rationalized based on the scission of the carbon―boron bond of PBA residues in PBA-polymer chains by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produced through the GOx-catalyzed oxidation reaction of glucose. The glucose-sensitive multilayer film may be useful for constructing insulin delivery systems.
