본 논문에서는 메조포러스 백금 전극이 적용된 무효소 혈당센서를 실리콘 기판 위에 제작하여 향후 CMOS 회로와의 집적이 가능하도록 설계하였으며, 초소형 무효소 혈당센서 구조의 최적화를 위하여 동일한 면적에서 여러 가지 구조의 센서를 설계 및 제작을 하고 그 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 제작된 무효소 혈당센서는 3전극시스템으로 구성되고 그 특성은 작동전극과 타 전극사이의 간격에 가장 민감한 변화를 보였다. 최적화된 구조를 갖는 센서는 11.1mM glucose실험에서 12.9${\mu}A$의 응답전류를 얻었으며 이 값은 효소를 사용한 센서와 비교하여도 월등히 큰 응답임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 제작된 센서들은 구조 최적화를 위하여 $9mm^2$로 동일한 크기로 실험을 하였지만, 이 크기는 응답전류가 매우 크므로 더욱더 소형화가 가능함을 알 수 있다.

We report a novel detection technology for glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) that is measured primarily to identify the three-month average plasma glucose concentration. In enzymatic measuring of glycated hemoglobin, the generated hydrogen peroxide was then used as a reducing agent of gold (III) for the synthesis of gold (0). Gold nanoparticles obtained from this novel approach were measured by optical and piezoelectric methods. In optical method, we have developed polymer based film-type sensor cartridge filled with all the reagents for glycated hemoglobin analysis and the cartridge worked very well having the detection limit of 0.53% of glycated hemoglobin. On the other hand, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors also have been developed to determine the abilities of surface modified QCM sensors at various levels of the concentration of glycated hemoglobin to bind gold nanoparticles and limit of detection was 0.90%. Finally, despite of relatively lower sensitivities of QCM sensor and film-type optical sensor than well-plate based optical detection, these two sensors were available to measure the glycated hemoglobin level for diabetes patients and normal person.

A strip sensor based on $PbO_2$/carbon paste electrode was prepared by a screen-printing method, and employed to electrochemically determine the concentration of fruit sweeteners(i.e. glucose, sucrose, and fructose). The $PbO_2$/carbon paste electrode could monitor electrocatalytic oxidation of organic compounds such as carbohydrates, and measure the levels of natural sweeteners without enzyme. Severe interference from ascorbic acid was effectively reduced by modifying the electrode surface with a Nafion membrane. The response level of the Nafion/$PbO_2$/carbon paste electrode increased in the order of fructose, sucrose, and glucose, which corresponds to the order of sweetness perceived by humans.

This study is about the fabrication of a flexible electrode based on PAN-based carbon fibers tow using organic/inorganic nanocomposite and its application of non-enzymatic sensor. The organic/inorganic nanocomposite was composed of the conductive polymer polyaniline (PANI) and the metal oxide CuO. And glucose was used as the target of the electrochemical sensor. Commercialized CFTs were pretreated through heat treatment for desizing and electrochemical oxidation for activation. This nanocomposite was sequentially synthesized on the pretreated CFT surface using electrochemical polymerization and electrochemical deposition. Finally, the CFT/PANI/CuO NPs electrode was obtained. The electrochemical properties and sensing performance of the CFT/PANI/CuO NPs electrode were analyzed using chronoamperometry (CA), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The sensitivity of the CFT/PANI/CuO NPs electrode was about 8.352 mA/mM (in a linear range of 0.445~6.674 mM) and 3.369 mA/mM (in a linear range of 6.674~50 mM), respectively. So, the CFT/PANI/CuO NPs electrode exhibited the enhanced sensing performances due to unique properties such as small peak potential separation, low electron transfer resistance, and large specific surface area.

As the demand for wearable devices increases, many studies have been studied on the development of flexible electrode materials recently. In particular, the development of high-performance flexible electrode materials is very important for wearable sensors for healthcare because it is necessary to continuously monitor and accurately detect body information such as body temperature, heart rate, blood glucose, and oxygen concentration in real time. In this study, we fabricated the nonenzymatic glucose sensor based on polyaniline/carbon nanotube fiber (PANI/CNT fiber) electrode. PANI layer was synthesized on the flexible CNT fiber electrode through electrochemical polymerization process in order to improve the performance of a flexible CNT fiber based electrode material. Surface morphology of the PANI/CNT fiber electrode was observed by scanning electron microscopy. And its electrochemical characteristics were investigated by chronoamperometry, cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Compared to bare CNT fiber electrode, this PANI/CNT fiber electrode exhibited small electron transfer resistance, low peak separation potential and large surface area, resulting in enhanced sensing properties for glucose such as wide linear range (0.024~0.39 and 1.56~50 mM), high sensitivity (52.91 and 2.24 ㎂/mM·cm²), low detection limit (2 μM) and good selectivity. Therefore, it is expected that it will be possible to develop high performance CNT fiber based flexible electrode materials using various nanomaterials.

본 논문에서는 nanoporous Pt (Platinum) 전극을 이용한 무효소 혈당센서의 생체 적합성 및 전류응답 특성 향상을 위해 다양한 패키징 방법이 제안되었다. 생체적합성을 갖는 Nafion 멤브레인을 dipping, spin coating, chemical bonding 방법으로 패키징 한 후, 다양한 글루코오스 농도의 혈장, 전혈에서 특성을 분석, 비교하였다. 단백질 등이 포함되지 않은 환경에서 spin coating 방법으로 패키징한 센서의 전류응답 특성은 가장 좋았지만, 혈장 및 전혈에서는 dipping, chemical bonding 방법으로 패키징한 센서의 전류응답 특성에 미치지 못했다. Nafion film을 센서와 chemical bonding한 센서의 혈장에서 sensitivity 는 0.32 ${\mu}A/mM{\cdot}cm^2$ 이었다. 한편, 전혈에서 bare 센서가 급격한 bio-fouling 현상을 보이는 반면 패키징한 센서는 글루코오스 농도에 따라 일정한 전류변화를 보였다. 이는 Nafion을 이용하여 패키징한 무효소 혈당 센서가 생체환경에 적합할 뿐 아니라 생체이식형 및 연속 측정 가능한 시스템에 적용 가능함을 보여준다.

본 논문에서는 생체 내에 삽입하거나 연속적으로 혈당을 모니터링하기 위하여 제작된 무효소 혈당세서의 바이오 패키징 및 특성 최적화에 관하여 고찰하였다. 3전극을 갖는 동일한 센서구조에서 sensitivity를 최대화하기 위해 평면형 백금전극을 사용한 센서, 메조포러스 구조가 작동전극에 형성된 센서, 메조포러스 구조가 작동전극과 보조전극에 형성된 무효소 혈당센서를 설계, 제작하고 비교하였다. 각각의 센서는 0.009${\mu}A$ $mM^{-1}cm^{-2}$, 5.46${\mu}A$ $mM^{-1}cm^{-2}$, 7.75${\mu}A$ $mM^{-1}cm^{-2}$의 sensitivity를 가졌다. 또한 생체 이식되었을 때 혈액 속에서 글루코스응답을 얻는 데에 있어 방해종인 Ascrobic Acid와 Acetaminophen의 반응을 최소화하고, 혈액 내의 단백질들이 전극에 엉겨 붙는 것을 막기 위해 생체 적합한 물질인 Nafion 을 패키징 멤브레인으로 적용하여 센서를 제작하였다. 이 센서는 0.36${\mu}A$ $mM^{-1}cm^{-2}$의 sensitivity를 가졌다.

This paper describes the electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of small biomolecules on the surface of Pt-Ru nanoparticles supported by $TiO_2$-hollow sphere prepared for use in sensor applications or fuel cells. The $TiO_2$-hollow sphere supports were first prepared by sol-gel reaction of titanium tetraisopropoxide with poly(styrene-co-vinylphenylboronic acid), PSB used as a template. Pt-Ru nanoparticles were then deposited by chemical reduction of the $Pt^{4+}$ and $Ru^{3+}$ ions onto $TiO_2$-hollow sphere ($Pt-Ru@TiO_2-H$). The prepared $Pt-Ru@TiO_2-H$ nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and elemental analysis. The electrocatalytic efficiency of Pt-Ru nanoparticles was evaluated via ethanol, methanol, dopamine, ascorbic acid, formalin, and glucose oxidation. The cyclic voltammograms (CV) obtained during the oxidation studies revealed that the $Pt-Ru@TiO_2-H$ nanocomposites showed high electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of biomolecules. As a result, the prepared Pt-Ru catalysts doped onto $TiO_2$-H sphere nanocomposites supports can be used for non-enzymatic biosensor or fuel cell anode electrode.
