ABSTRACT
Potassium detection is critical in monitoring imbalances in electrolytes and physiological status. The development of rapid and robust potassium sensors is desirable in clinical chemistry and point-of-care applications. In this study, composite supramolecular hydrogels are investigated polyethylene glycol methacrylate and acrylamide copolymer (P(PEGMA-co-AM)) are functionalized with 18-crown-6 ether by employing surface initiated polymerization. Real-time potassium ion monitoring is realized by combining these compounds with quartz crystal microbalance. The device demonstrates a rapid response time of ≈30 s and a concentration detection range from 0.5 to 7.0 × 10-3 m. These hydrogels also exhibit high reusability and K+ ion selectivity relative to other cations in biofluids such as Na+ , NH4+ , Mg2+ , and Ca2+ . These results provide a new approach for sensing alkali metal ions using P(PEGMA-co-AM) hydrogels.
