Hydrogels with fine-toothed molecular combs may make enduring glucose-monitoring implants

(Texas A&M University) In a new study, published online in the journal American Chemical Society (ACS) Applied Polymer Materials, scientists at Texas A&M University reported they have designed a hydrogel membrane that may be used to house optical glucose sensing materials, toward building a biosensor for monitoring sugar levels in diabetics.
