Capacity Increase of Mask Aligner UV Curing Process with LED Technology

Abstract

Diabetes disrupts blood sugar regulation, and Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) systems help manage it by tracking glucose levels in real-time. Improving CGM sensor production is crucial for meeting demand and quality. Challenges include ultraviolet (UV) exposure efficiency and production time. This project aims to enhance sensor fabrication using Light-Emitting Diode (LED) technology, a Definitive Screening Design (DSD), and reducing UV exposure. By doing so, production efficiency and sensor quality can improve, benefiting diabetes management. DSD identifies factors like UV intensity and solution parameters, optimizing them. LED tech is explored for better UV exposure. Analysis shows dose affects sensor quality, and optimal exposure times are found. LED use and UV parameter optimization promise significant improvements in CGM sensor fabrication, enhancing production efficiency and sensor quality for better diabetes management. Key Terms ⎯ Light-Emitting Diode, Definitive Screening Design, Mask Aligner Curing.
