Abstract

Initiated (i)CVD is used to conformally deposit a 50 nm thin layer of p(2-hydroxyl methacrylate (HEMA)-co-ethylene glycol diacrylate (EGDA)) copolymer inside aluminium oxide (AAO) membranes to obtain core/shell cylindrical-shape structures, called microworms. The mesh size of these microworms is studied to determine the entrance availability of ions or small molecules through them for sensor applications. Additionally, the filling process of the microworms with a dye is optimized in order to be used as a sensor for in-vivo glucose detection.
