METHOD FOR POLYMERIZING A MONOMER SOLUTION WITHIN A CAVITY TO GENERATE A SMOOTH POLYMER SURFACE

摘要

IThe present invention relates to methods for polymerizing a monomer solution (15) comprising a polymerization initiator and an analyte indicator within a cavity (6) in an optical fiber covered by a porous membrane (14) to generate a smooth polymer surface. More specifically, the method can be used to provide a medical device or sensor (2) with a smooth polymer surface.
