We are currently investigating phenylboronic acid modified polyacrylamides with variable phenylboronic acid block lengths as a route to glucose sensors with controllable properties, as phenylboronic acids reversibly bind 1, 2-diols such as glucose. We aim to develop phenylboronic acid modified polyacrylamide sensors in surfactant templated films and gels. Therefore we will investigate the interactions between phenylboronic acid modified polyacrylamides and surfactant micelles as a function of phenylboronic acid block length, type of surfactant and glucose binding. This will be achieved by mixing novel poly(acrylamide-acrylic acid-methacrylamidophenylboronic acid) ter-polymers with single surfactant solutions. Anionic, cationic and zwitterionic surfactants have been chosen. Equivalent experiments will be performed in the presence of glucose to determine glucose binding effects.
