Young scientists from the Tula State University have created a hybrid nanocomposite material. It will be used to reduce biosensors that measure blood glucose levels.
This will achieve two goals: to create sensors that can continuously measure glucose in the blood, and to reduce the size of the measuring device.
The Tula State University used redox-active polymers. Carbon nanotubes were added to them to improve conductivity, fill voids, and increase the surface area of the material. This allowed scientists to achieve easy passage of electricity through the polymer. After that, it can be used in sensors that require high conductivity.
In the development of materials, machine learning was used to eliminate interference and predict the structure of redox-active polymers.
