glucose의 농도에 따라 인슐린의 방출을 조절하기 위하여 3급 아민을 함유하는 Hydroxypropyl methacrylate 고분자막을 합성하였다. 이 막의 함수율은 수용액의 pH가 감소함에 따라 증가하였다. 인슐린의 투과도 역시 수용액의 pH가 감소함에 따라 증가하였다. 이 막에 당산화효소를 고정화시킨 acryl amide 막을 부착하여 복합막을 제조하였다. 이 막의 인슐린 투과도는 glucose 의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다.

Hydroxypropyl methacrylate polymeric membranes having tertiary amine moiety were prepared to control the release rate of insulin in response to the concentration of glucose. Hydroxypropyl methacrylate was copolymerized with N, N`-diethylaminoethylacrylate. Its water content was increased with decreasing the pH of the medium and was reversible with variation of the pH of the medium. The permeation coefficient of insulin through copolymer membrane was also increased with decreasing the pH of the medium. Combining this copolymer membrane and the glucose oxidase immobilized membrane as a sensor for glucose, composite membrane was prepared. The permeability of this composite membrane was increased with addition of glucose.
