✦ Synopsis


The electrical characteristics of a glucosesensitive polymeric hydrogel have been studied. The hydrogel matrices were prepared by radical polymerization of solutions containing 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, N,Ndimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate, tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate, ethylene glycol, water, and glucose oxidase. The hydrogels displayed faster and higher swelling rates for lower levels of a crosslinking agent. Electrical conductivity was found to be a sensitive measurement of the state of the swelling. A simple model that relates hydrogel swelling and conductivity has been proposed.
