Facile one-pot synthesis of organic dye-complexed microgels for optical detection of glucose at physiological pH

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Jun 21;49(49):5553-5. doi: 10.1039/c3cc42005a.

Abstract

With a rational design of functional co-monomers, low-cost dye-complexed microgels, capable of continuous glucose detection at physiological pH, were readily synthesized in one-pot via precipitation polymerization in water.
