Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of biosensor technology, and in particular relates to a composite membrane material and a biosensor. Background Technology
[0002] Electrochemical sensors are increasingly used in the biomedical field. For example, a biosensor is an instrument that is sensitive to biological substances and converts their concentration into an electrical signal for detection. Examples include uric acid analyzers and blood glucose analyzers, which quickly assess an individual's physiological condition by monitoring the fluid in the skin's tissues, allowing people to monitor their health at home.
[0003] However, the complexity of human tissue fluid presents significant challenges to implanted medical biosensors. To ensure the normal, efficient, and long-term operation of implanted medical chemical sensors in this complex tissue fluid environment, the outer polymer membrane is crucial. This semi-permeable membrane allows substances smaller than its pore size, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, inorganic salts, and nutrients, to pass freely, while substances larger than its pore size, such as bacteria and foreign bodies, cannot pass through. These impermeable tissue fluids accumulate on the surface of the semi-permeable membrane over time. This tissue fluid adhering to the membrane surface affects the implanted biosensor, reducing its sensitivity and shortening its continuous operating time.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a biosensor that can operate efficiently and for extended periods in complex tissue fluid environments and has high sensitivity. Summary of the Invention

Of course, other values within the above range are also possible in this application and are not limited here. Controlling the particle size of at least one of graphene, carbon fiber and carbon quantum dots in the dispersion within the above range is beneficial to improving enzyme adhesion without affecting electronic signal transmission.

[0131] Table 1. Performance tests of Examples 1-14 and Comparative Examples
[0132]
[0133]
[0134] Examples 1-13 of this application describe the preparation of biosensors with molecular weights between 15,000 and 30,000 and molecular weight distribution indexes between 1.3 and 1.6. This improves the selective permeability to tissue fluid, allowing glucose, lactic acid, and ketones to pass through, while preventing other viscous substances (proteins, large polypeptides, lipids, and phospholipids) from passing through. This avoids clogging of the composite membrane material during prolonged operation, thereby improving the sensitivity and efficiency of the biosensor. In contrast, Comparative Example 1 used conventional polyvinylidene fluoride to prepare the membrane material, resulting in no response from the biosensor.
[0135] In Example 8, the amount of copolymer material added was too small, or in Example 9, the amount of copolymer material added was too large, resulting in a decrease in the sensitivity of the biosensor and a shortening of its working time.
[0136] In Example 10, without the addition of modified polymer, the biosensor prepared there showed decreased sensitivity and no response.
[0137] In Examples 1 and 11-13, if the graphene particle size in the electrode modification layer is too large, the graphene layer is easy to fall off and the sensor has no response. If the graphene particle size is too small, it is not conducive to the dispersion of the graphene solution and the coating layer is uneven, resulting in poor sensor sensitivity.
[0138] In Example 14, no electrode modification layer was prepared. After working for a period of time, the enzyme layer was easily detached and separated from the electrode, causing the biosensor to fail.
[0139] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
