Nickel(II) bis(dithiolene) complexes can provide crystalline conducting materials either in their monoanionic or neutral forms. Here we show that the use of chiral dithiolene ligands with one or two stereogenic...

An implantable artificial endocrine pancreas consisting of a glucose sensor and a closed-loop insulin delivery system could potentially replace the need for glucose self-monitoring and regulation among insulin dependent diabetics. Achieving such a break through largely depends on the development of an appropriate, biocompatible membrane for the sensor. Biocompatibility is crucial since changes in the glucose sensors membrane resulting from attack by orinter action with living tissues can interfere with sensor reliability and accuracy. If such interactions can be understood, however, compensations can be made for their effects. Current polymer technology offers several possible membranes that meet the unique chemical dynamics required of a glucose sensor. Two of the most promising polymer membranes are polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and silicone (Si). Low-voltage scanning electron microscopy, which is an excellent technique for characterizing a variety of polymeric and non-conducting materials, 27 was applied to the examination of experimental sensor membranes.
