Continuous glucose measurement has improved the treatment of type 1 diabetes and is typically provided by externally powered transcutaneous amperometric sensors. Self-powered glucose sensors (SPGSs) could provide an improvement over these conventionally powered devices, especially for fully implanted long-term applications

A simple and facile needle-adapter was designed for constructing manual on-line polymer monolith microextraction-high performance liquid chromatography (PMME-HPLC). A capillary poly(4-vinylpyridine-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) [poly(VP-co-EGDMA)] monolith was prepared by in situ polymerization, using 4-vinylpyridine (VP) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as

Poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) brushes were grafted onto microporous polysulfone (PSF) membranes via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) and then immobilized copper (II) ions on the modified membrane. Copper-loaded membranes exhibited excellent antibacterial properties with the added advantage of repeated use.
