Nitric oxide (NO)-releasing xerogel membranes were prepared as coatings for an electrochemical glucose biosensor to allow for enhanced biocompatibility while maintaining adequate response times and sensitivity. Formation of the NO-donor species was found to drastically decrease the permeability of the aminosilane-based xerogels to both hydrogen peroxide and glucose. The addition of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) polymer enhanced the membrane permeability even after exposure to high pressures of NO (necessary for NO-donor synthesis). The analytical response and NO release of PVP-doped NO-releasing xerogels as glucose sensor membranes were further investigated and found to be enhanced via polymer doping. Doping of the polymer into the xerogel did not compromise the stability of the xerogel as evaluated by silicon leaching studies. Despite the addition of PVP, the NO-releasing xerogels maintained reduced bacterial adhesion characteristics analogous to previous reports for NO-releasing xerogels.
