Glucose-sensitive hydrogels (GSHs) responsive to both pH value and glucose concentration have been prepared by polymerizing solutions containing hydroxypropyl methacrylate, (N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, and tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate in the mole ratio 70:30:2. Various concentration...
