Glucose-responsive polymer brushes for microcantilever sensing
Abstract
Glucose responsive polymer brushes were synthesized on gold substrates and microcantilever
arrays. The response properties of these brushes were evaluated by exposing them to
different glucose concentrations for a range of pH values. This work demonstrates
the potential for polymer brush-functionalized micromechanical cantilevers as glucose
detectors. Furthermore, the work demonstrates that stimulus-responsive polymer brushes
on micromechanical cantilevers have a significantly larger bending response due to
glucose binding compared with self-assembled monolayers. © The Royal Society of Chemistry

My research lies at the intersection of surface and colloid science, polymer materials
engineering, and biointerface science, with four central areas of focus:
1. Fabrication, manipulation and characterization of stimulus-responsive biomolecular
and bio-inspired polymeric nanostructures on surfaces;
2. Nanotechnology of soft-wet materials and hybrid biological/non-biological microdevices;
3. Receptor-ligand interactions relevant to the diagnostics of infectious diseases;
4. Friction
