Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating a device for measuring a concentration of an analyte, the method comprising: providing a sensor configured to measure an analyte or a product of a reaction associated with the analyte; forming a solution comprising a blend of a first polymer and a second polymer, wherein the first polymer and the second polymer are not same polymers wherein the second polymer is a hydrophobic-hydrophilic co-polymer comprising a hydrophobic segment and a hydrophilic segment, wherein a segment of the first polymer and a segment of the second polymer are both formed of a same monomer unit; maintaining the solution at a temperature sufficient to maintain solubility of the first polymer with the second polymer; applying the solution to the sensor; forming a film from the solution at the temperature; and drying the film to form a membrane.
