In this paper, Methacrylic acid (MAA) and 4-vinyl pyridine (4-VP) as functional monomers, Ethylene glycol two methyl acrylate (EGDMA) crosslinking agent, isopropyl alcohol the solvent, prepared Cu(II)- Pb(II)- imprinted polymers (IIPs) submicron spheres by precipitation polymerization. The presence/absence of template ion in preparation polymer was confirmed EDX spectroscopy, structure particle...

Technology for immobilization of biomass has attracted a great interest due to the high sorption capacity of biomass for sequestration of toxic metals from industrial effluents. However, the currently practiced immobilization methods normally reduce the metal sorption capacities. In this study, an innovative ion-imprint technology was developed to overcome the drawback. Copper ion was first imp...

In the current study, piezosensors based on molecularly imprinted polyimides with imprints of potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate were obtained. Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) synthesized using a polyimide non-covalent imprinting technique. It was established that use 0.1 g/mL template concentration at thermochemical stage led to formation maximum number molecular film surface. Using s...

Ergot alkaloids, in their active isomeric form, affect animal health and performance, and adsorbents are used to mitigate toxicities by reducing bioavailability. Adsorbents with high specificity (molecularly imprinted polymers: MIP) adsorb ergot alkaloids in vitro, but require evaluation for biological implications. Using ex vivo myography, synthetic polymers were evaluated for effects on the b...
