In this study, ratiometric fluorescent glucose and lactate biosensors were developed using a ratiometric fluorescent oxygen-sensing membrane immobilized with glucose oxidase (GOD) or lactate oxidase (LOX). Herein, the ratiometric fluorescent oxygen-sensing membrane was fabricated with the ratio of two emission wavelengths of platinum meso-tetra (pentafluorophenyl) porphyrin (PtP) doped in polystyrene particles and coumarin 6 (C6) captured into silica particles. The operation mechanism of the sensing membranes was based on (i) the fluorescence quenching effect of the PtP dye by oxygen molecules, and (ii) the consumption of oxygen levels in the glucose or lactate oxidation reactions under the catalysis of GOD or LOX. The ratiometric fluorescent glucose-sensing membrane showed high sensitivity to glucose in the range of 0.1–2 mM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.031 mM, whereas the ratiometric fluorescent lactate-sensing membrane showed the linear detection range of 0.1–0.8 mM, with an LOD of 0.06 mM. These sensing membranes also showed good selectivity, fast reversibility, and stability over long-term use. They were applied to detect glucose and lactate in artificial human serum, and they provided reliable measurement results.

Background: A polymer as a host in the optical waveguide has many advantages and, when doped with rare-earth (RE) elements, offers an efficient connection, compared to its glass-based counterparts as an amplifier. However, a polymer matrix causes the concentration quenching effect of REs in the polymer matrix, making the fabrication of RE-doped polymer waveguides more complicated as compared to the fabrication of glass-based complements. Moreover, controlling scattering loss at the particle-polymer interface for maintaining the optical clarity of the composite is also a great challenge. Objective: The main aim of the present study was to optimize the synthesis of Er2O3grafted Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)-Polystyrene (PS) composite based transparent ternary nanocomposite and its characterization to implement them as a potential material for active core in Polymer Optical Preform (POP). Methods: Nano Erbium Oxide (Er2O3) was successfully synthesized by the wet-chemical method and encapsulated by a polymerizable surfactant, i.e., 3-Methacyloxypropyltrimethoxy silane (MPS). The encapsulated nanoparticles were further subjected to grafting with PMMA using in-situ polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) followed by blending with PS via solvent mixing technique. Results: The optical transparency of the ternary composite was achieved by fine-tuning the diameter (15-20 nm) of the PMMA coated Er2O3. The crystallinity present in Er2O3 was significantly reduced after PMMA coating. The comparatively higher refractive index obtained at 589 nm wavelength for the synthesized material indicated its usability as active core material in the presence of a commercial acrylate cladding tube. A photoluminescence (Pl) study indicated that the technique might be used for a higher level of Er3+doping in polymer matrix without sacrificing its transparency. Conclusion: The obtained results indicated that the sample synthesized with the adopted technique gives better Pl intensity compared to the other methods of Er3+ incorporation in polymer optical preform (POP).
