Characterization of poly(vinyl alcohol) grafted with acrylic acid and methylmethacrylate using a Ce(IV) glucose redox system

Abstract: Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a well-known biomedical polymer and is biocompatible. Methylmethacrylate and acrylic acid monomers were grafted onto PVA using a Ce(IV)-glucose redox system at three different temperatures (35, 45, and 55°C) under nitrogen atmosphere. More than 80% grafting could be achieved in the process. The grafted PVA was characterized through infrared spectra, thermal decomposition studies [thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and decomposition thermal grafting (DTG)], differential scanning calor… Show more

“…Enzymes immobilized on the membrane should maintain their activity for the substrate. Several possible methods for immobilizing the enzymes, such as entrapping [7], formation of poly(ion complex) (PIC) [8], and covalently bonding [9] with the microelectrodes, have been investigated. A PIC membrane, which is based on electrostatic interactions between anionic and cationic polymers, has some advantages that help in maintaining the enzymatic activities, and the filter function protecting the sensor from electroactive species such as uric acid and acetaminophen [10].…”
