  • Composite material including a hierarchical and nanoporous metal in porous polymer substrate
    Patent number: 12570825
    Abstract: A composite material is disclosed including a porous polymer substrate and a nanoporous metal present within the microporous polymer substrate. The nanoporous metal may have a hierarchical structure. The nanoporous metal may have a unimodal and right-skewed number-based nanopore size distribution. The porous polymer substrate may support tissue integration and/or tissue ingrowth in certain applications. The composite material may be used in electrochemical analyte biosensors and other applications.
    Type: Grant

  • Electrochemical analyte biosensors, associated compositions of matter, and methods for making and using same
    Patent number: 12517119
    Abstract: An electrochemical analyte biosensor is configured to detect an analyte. The electrochemical analyte biosensor includes a biocompatible electrode composite with a microporous polymer substrate having a plurality of interconnected pores, an electrically conductive region serving as a working electrode and including a conductive material contained at least partially in the interconnected pores of the microporous polymer substrate, and at least one immobilized bioreceptor region adjacent to the electrically conductive region. The conductive material may include a conformal metal coating on the microporous polymer substrate or a nanoporous metal imbibed into the microporous polymer substrate. The microporous polymer substrate may support tissue integration and/or tissue ingrowth in certain applications. The electrochemical analyte biosensor may be used in medical, industrial, agricultural, environmental, and other applications.
