Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a highly sensitive glucose colorimetric detector and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of new material preparation, specifically belonging to the field of new material preparation for sensing and detection. Background Art

[0002] Due to unhealthy living habits, increasingly common sugar additives, and excessive dependence on sugar intake, the population of diabetics has become increasingly large. The characteristic of diabetes is the accumulation of glucose in the blood. When the glucose concentration in the blood is higher than 10 mmol / L, the kidney's reabsorption of glucose is insufficient, resulting in glycosuria. Currently, various glucose detectors have been reported, including fluorescence detectors, electrochemical detectors, gel detectors, colorimetric detectors, etc. Among them, glucose colorimetric detectors have attracted much attention due to their intuitive, convenient, strong warning, and no external power consumption characteristics. This type of detector material can modulate visible light. After interacting with a certain concentration of glucose, its molecular or nanostructure changes, resulting in a change in the reflected light wavelength, thereby producing a color change to monitor the change in glucose concentration. However, to meet the needs of practical applications, the sensitivity of current glucose colorimetric detection materials still needs to be improved. At the same time, materials that can achieve non-invasive glucose colorimetric detection in urine environment are still urgently needed to be developed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides a highly sensitive glucose detector and a preparation method thereof. The present invention provides a large number of mass transfer channels for glucose through the water absorption and swelling of the strongly hydrophilic organic nanogel layer, accelerating the response speed. And the organic nanogel layer of the present invention grafts a large number of anions by modification, increasing the electrostatic repulsion inside the gel, thereby enhancing the swelling ability of the organic nanogel layer film in the detector of the present invention, making the detector have higher response sensitivity. Especially under the condition of low-concentration glucose, the detector can produce an obvious color change recognition effect.

[0004] A highly sensitive glucose colorimetric detector, the glucose colorimetric detector is composed of a substrate and a structural color nanometer film coated on the substrate, and the structural color nanometer film is composed of several organic nanogel layers and inorganic nano-oxide layers stacked in an orderly manner. Among them,

[0005] The inorganic nano-oxide layer is composed of inorganic nano-oxides, and the inorganic nano-oxides are one of titanium dioxide, manganese oxide, zinc oxide, zirconium oxide, or indium sesquioxide;

[0006] The organic nanogel layer is composed of a copolymer modified by grafting, and the copolymer is formed by cross-linking a strongly hydrophilic polymer monomer and a polymer monomer containing a phenylboronic acid group. Among them,

[0007] The strong hydrophilic polymer monomer is one of acrylamide, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, N-hydroxymethyl acrylamide, N-(2-hydroxyethyl) acrylamide or hydroxyethyl acrylate; the polymer monomer containing a phenylboronic acid group is one of 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid, 4-vinylphenylboronic acid or 4-((2-acrylamidoethyl)carbamoyl)-3-fluorophenylboronic acid.

[0008] Furthermore, the structural color nano-film is composed of at least one organic nano-gel layer and one inorganic nano-oxide layer.

[0009] Furthermore, the first layer on the side in contact with the substrate in the glucose colorimetric detector can be the organic nano-gel layer of the structural color nano-film or the inorganic nano-oxide layer.

[0010] More preferably, the first layer on the side in contact with the substrate in the glucose colorimetric detector is the organic nano-gel layer of the structural color nano-film.

[0011] Even further, one organic nano-gel layer and one inorganic nano-oxide layer form 1 stack.

[0012] The number of stacks of the present invention can be 1 or more. As the number of stacks increases, the reflectivity of the structural color nano-film increases and the color becomes more vivid. The number of stacks can theoretically be infinite. However, considering the influence of the number of stacks on the detection effect, too many stacks will reduce the sensitivity of the structural color film.

[0013] Preferably, the number of stacks of the structural color nano-film of the glucose colorimetric detector is 1 to 4 stacks.

[0014] Furthermore, when the structural color nano-film of the glucose colorimetric detector involves multiple stacks, each organic nano-gel layer can be grafted with a modification reagent.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the thickness of the structural color nano-film of the glucose colorimetric detector in air is 200 - 600 nm, and the thickness in aqueous solution is 300 - 1500 nm.

[0016] Furthermore, the thickness of the organic nano-gel layer of the structural color nano-film in air is 30 - 150 nm, and the thickness in aqueous solution is 80 - 400 nm.

[0017] Furthermore, the thickness of the inorganic nano-oxide layer of the structural color nano-film in both air and water is 30 - 150 nm.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the grafting modification method is to soak the structural color nano-film together with the substrate in a modification reagent solution and react at 25 °C for 5 - 10 min.

[0019] Further, the modifying reagent used for graft modification is one of alizarin red S, sodium 6,7-dihydroxynaphthalene-2-sulfonate, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid or sodium catechol-3,5-disulfonate.

[0020] Further, the modifying reagent is a water-soluble small molecule having both cis-dihydroxy groups and acid groups.

[0021] Furthermore, the cis-dihydroxy groups in the modifying reagent covalently bond with the boronic acid groups in the copolymer to form borate ions, and then the modifying reagent is grafted onto the copolymer chain segments in the organic nanogel layer. At the same time, the acid groups in the modifying reagent are also introduced onto the copolymer chain segments.

[0022] In the modification process of the present invention, the uncharged boronic acid groups in the organic nanogel layer are promoted to be converted into borate ions, and acid groups are introduced. A large number of anions are grafted inside the organic nanogel layer, increasing the electrostatic repulsion inside it, thereby enhancing its swelling ability and making the glucose detector obtained by the present invention have higher response sensitivity.

[0023] In the above technical solution, a cross-linking agent is required when the strongly hydrophilic polymer monomer and the polymer monomer containing phenylboronic acid groups in the organic nanogel layer of the structural color nanometer thin film are cross-linked.

[0024] Further, the cross-linking agent is one of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide, N,N'-vinylenebisacrylamide, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate or polyethylene glycol diacrylate.

[0025] In the above technical solution, the substrate of the glucose colorimetric detector is one of a silicon wafer, a glass sheet, polyester, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyimide, polytetrafluoroethylene or polydimethylsiloxane.

[0040] Preferably, the concentration of the modified reagent is 0.01 to 0.1 mM.

[0041] Further, the reagent required to dissolve the modified reagent is a phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 7.4.

[0042] In the method of the present invention, the inverse microemulsion method includes the following experimental steps: Add sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate, a surfactant, to toluene, continuously stir and purge with nitrogen until the temperature reaches 75 °C to form micelles. Add an azobisisobutyronitrile toluene solution as an initiator, continue stirring for 2 - 5 min, and then dropwise add an aqueous mixed solution composed of a strongly hydrophilic polymer monomer, a phenylboronic acid-containing monomer, and a crosslinking agent to form a microemulsion. Keep it warm for 1 h, and after cooling, obtain a nano-gel emulsion containing a copolymer.

[0043] Further, the dropping method of the aqueous mixed solution composed of a strongly hydrophilic polymer monomer, a phenylboronic acid-containing monomer, and a crosslinking agent is to dropwise add it by using a quantitative injection pump at a speed of 0.1 mL·min -1 。

[0044] Further, the volume ratio of the sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate toluene solution, the azobisisobutyronitrile toluene solution, and the aqueous mixed solution is 50:1 - 5:3 - 8.

[0048] Furthermore, the concentration of the azobisisobutyronitrile toluene solution is 0.01 - 0.05 mol / L.

[0049] In the method of the present invention, in step ③, the operation method for coating the organic nano-gel dispersion and the inorganic oxide nano-particle dispersion is preferably spin coating.

[0050] Further, the conditions for spin coating are to spin coat at a speed of 3000 - 5000 rpm for 30 - 50 s.

[0063] Example 1

[0065] ① Preparation of a nano-gel dispersion containing a copolymer:

[0066] Use an ultrasonic cleaner to completely dissolve 4.25 g of acrylamide, 0.75 g of 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid, and 0.20 g of N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide mixed in 2.50 g of deionized water to obtain a mixed aqueous solution; then, pour 2.5 g of the surfactant sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate and 44.0 g of toluene into a 100.0 mL three-necked flask equipped with a nitrogen inlet, a feed inlet, and a reflux condenser. The solution is continuously stirred and purged with nitrogen until heated to 75 °C; at this time, pour the initiator solution prepared by dissolving 12.5 mg of azobisisobutyronitrile in 2 mL of toluene into the flask, continue stirring for 3 min, and then inject the above mixed solution with a metering syringe pump (0.1 mL·min -1 ) for 50 min; keep warm for 1 hour, then cool the mixture for 10 min, add 100 mL of ethanol to demulsify, centrifuge, dry the solid, put it into a dialysis bag, and perform dialysis purification in deionized water to separate unreacted monomers and sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate. Finally, a copolymer nano-gel dispersion is obtained, wherein the average particle size of the copolymer in toluene is 70 nm, and the average particle size in aqueous solution is 800 nm;

[0067] ② Preparation of an inorganic oxide nanoparticle dispersion:

[0068] Weigh 1 g of titanium dioxide and dissolve it in 10 mL of an ethanol aqueous solution (the volume ratio of water to ethanol in the ethanol aqueous solution is 1:1) to obtain a titanium dioxide nanoparticle dispersion, wherein the particle size of the titanium dioxide nanoparticles is 25 nm;

[0069] ③ Preparation of a structural color nano-film coated on a substrate:

[0070] Take the nano-gel aqueous dispersion containing the copolymer obtained in step ① and dilute it with water to 1.72 wt%, and coat it on the surface of a silicon wafer by spin coating technology. During the spin coating process, the rotation speed is 4000 rpm and the spin coating time is 40 s. Then, heat the coated silicon wafer at 180 °C for 10 min and cool it down to obtain an organic nano-gel layer coated on the surface of the silicon wafer; take the titanium dioxide nanoparticle dispersion obtained in step ② and dilute it with water to 3.0 wt%, and then coat it on the surface of the above organic nano-gel layer film. The spin coating conditions are the same as those of the organic gel layer, and heat it at 180 °C for 3 min; repeat the above steps three times to prepare a structural color nano-film with a total thickness of about 300 nm, wherein the thickness of the organic nano-gel layer is 60 nm and the thickness of the titanium dioxide layer is 40 nm;

[0073] Put the highly sensitive glucose colorimetric detector obtained in Example 1 into phosphate buffer solutions containing different concentrations of glucose. The reflection spectra and digital photos are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 respectively. It can be seen that when the glucose concentration gradually increases from 0 mM to 10 mM, the position of the maximum reflection peak of the glucose colorimetric detector gradually redshifts from 571 nm to 666 nm, and the color gradually changes from the initial yellow to orange-red. The reflection peak displacement for 10 mM glucose is as high as 95 nm. Figure 3 Figure showing the change in the reflection wavelength of the glucose detector obtained in Example 1 when immersed in a 7 mM glucose solution. It can be seen that when the glucose detector is immersed in a 7 mM glucose buffer solution, the reflection peak rapidly redshifts, and the detection of glucose is completed within 60 s, showing a fast detection speed.

[0074] Examples 2 - 5

[0075] The method is the same as that in Example 1, but the solutions for immersing the structural color nanofilms are changed to sodium 6,7-dihydroxynaphthalene-2-sulfonate, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, and sodium catechol-3,5-disulfonate respectively.

[0076] When the modification reagent changes, the sensitivity of the prepared glucose colorimetric detector changes, and different structural color changes occur for 10 mM glucose. The reflection spectra of the glucose colorimetric detector modified with sodium 6,7-dihydroxynaphthalene-2-sulfonate in glucose solutions with different concentrations are shown in Figure 4 respectively. It can be seen that when the glucose concentration gradually increases from 0 mM to 10 mM, the position of the maximum reflection peak of the glucose colorimetric detector gradually redshifts from 584 nm to 693 nm. The reflection peak displacement for 10 mM glucose is as high as 109 nm, showing higher sensitivity.

Then, pour 2.5 g of the surfactant sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate and 44.0 g of toluene into a 100.0 mL three-necked flask equipped with a nitrogen inlet, a feed inlet, and a reflux condenser. The solution is continuously stirred and purged with nitrogen until it is heated to 75 °C. At this time, pour the initiator solution prepared by dissolving 12.5 mg of azobisisobutyronitrile in 2 mL of toluene into the flask, continue stirring for 3 min, and then inject the above mixed solution for 50 min using a metering injection pump (0.1 mL·min -1 ). Keep the temperature for 1 hour, then cool the mixture for 10 min, add 100 mL of ethanol to demulsify, centrifuge, dry the solid, put it into a dialysis bag, and perform dialysis purification in deionized water to separate unreacted monomers and sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate. Finally, obtain a copolymer nanogel dispersion. Among them, the average particle size of the copolymer in toluene is 70 nm, and the average particle size in aqueous solution is 800 nm;

[0081] ② Preparation of inorganic oxide nanoparticle dispersion:

Among them, the particle size of the titanium dioxide nanoparticles is 25 nm;

[0083] ③ Preparation of a structural color nanometer film coated on a substrate:

[0084] Dilute the nanogel aqueous dispersion containing the copolymer obtained in step ① with water to 1.54 wt%, and coat it on the surface of a silicon wafer by spin coating technology at a rotation speed of 5000 rpm for 40 s. Heat the coated silicon wafer at 180 °C for 10 min and then cool it down to obtain an organic nanogel layer coated on the surface of the silicon wafer. Dilute the titanium dioxide nanoparticle dispersion obtained in step ② with water to 3.0 wt%, and then coat it on the surface of the above organic nanogel layer film. The spin coating conditions are the same as those of the organic gel layer, and heat it at 180 °C for 3 min. Repeat the above steps three times to prepare a structural color nanometer film with a total thickness of about 270 nm. Among them, the thickness of the organic nanogel layer is 50 nm, and the thickness of the titanium dioxide layer is 40 nm;

[0085] ④ Preparation of a high-sensitivity glucose colorimetric detector:

[0086] At 25 °C, the obtained structural color nano-film together with the substrate was immersed in a 0.025 mM alizarin red S solution (pH = 7.4) for 10 min for graft modification, and a high-sensitivity glucose colorimetric detector was obtained.

[0087] Examples 7-10

[0088] The method was the same as that in Example 6, and the concentrations of alizarin red in the solution were changed to 0.01 mM, 0.05 mM, 0.075 mM, and 0.1 mM, respectively.

[0089] The reflection spectra of the glucose colorimetric detectors prepared with different concentrations of the modification reagent in different concentrations of glucose solutions are shown in Figure 5 , and it can be seen that: as the concentration of the modification reagent increases, the detection range of the glucose colorimetric detector gradually decreases, from 0-10 mM to 0-3 mM, but its response ability to low-concentration glucose of 0-1 mM increases.
