Figure 2. (A) Schematic illustration of the oxidation of lactate by LOx; (B) λPBG values as a function of LOx concentration; insets show real photographs of CLCN-IPNLox films immobilized with different concentrations of CLOx; (C) Redshift in λPBG values as a function of lactate concentration; insets show photographs of the CLCN-IPNLox films treated with varying concentrations of CLactate in aqueous solutions; (D) UV-Vis spectra of the CLCN-IPNLox films treated with different CLactate concentrations. Error bars in (B) and (C) represent the standard deviations from triplicate experimental results. CLCN: Cholesteric liquid crystal network; IPN: interpenetrating polymer network; UV-Vis: UV-Visible.
