Corrigendum to “signaling molecularly imprinted polymers: molecular recognition-based sensing materials”

Design of molecularly imprinted polymers for diphenylamine sensing.

A series of the polymers imprinted with diphenylamine (DPA) and respective non imprinted polymers were synthesized using precipitation polymerization. Synthesized polymers were characterized by Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy with Total Attenuated Reflectance (FTIR-ATR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and equilibrium batch re-binding experiments. Influence of the synthesis conditio...

Molecularly Imprinted Polymers: Towards a Rational Understanding of Biomimetic Materials

Effect of the size of molecularly imprinted polymers sensing materials on piezoelectric quartz crystal sensor performance.

The effect of the size of the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) on the piezoelectric quartz crystal (PQC) sensor performance was investigated. Erythromycin imprinted polymers microspheres with different sizes were synthesized by precipitation polymerization. The size of the MIPs was characterized by using transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis. Being coated with a poly(vinyl chlori...

Molecularly imprinted polymers in chemical and biological sensing.

In recent years the field of sensor technology has developed enormously, and biosensors in particular have attracted increased interest. This can be attributed to an extended demand for sensor devices for monitoring and control in biotechnology, the food industry, in the biomedical field, and in environmental analysis. Being highly sensitive and specific, biosensors provide an attractive altern...

A Path to Soluble Molecularly Imprinted Polymers

Molecular imprinting is a technique for making a selective binding site for a specific chemical. The technique involves building a polymeric scaffold of molecular complements containing the target molecule. Subsequent removal of the target leaves a cavity with a structural "memory" of the target. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can be employed as selective adsorbents of specific molecules...
