In the presence of imprinting molecules of Nalidixic acid, uniformly sized molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) in nanometer range were synthesized. The MIPs were successfully prepared by precipitation polymerization using methacrylic acid (MAA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) as functional monomers at different mole ratios. The effect of combination of MAA-to-MMA on the morphology, binding, rec...

The aim of the present research work was the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with a rod-like geometry via "mesophase polymerization". The ternary lyotropic system consisting of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), water, and decanol was chosen to prepare a hexagonal mesophase to direct the morphology of the synthesized imprinted polymers using theophylline, methacrylic acid, and eth...

A novel synthetic N-(9-fluorenyl methoxy carbonyl)-L-Cysteine (Fmoc-Cys(SH)-OH) receptor was prepared by co-polymerizing (9-fluorenyl methoxy carbonyl)-S-(1-propene-2-thiol)-L-Cysteine (FmocCys(SCH2CHCH2)-OH) and a non-imprinted polymer prepared from 1-propene-1-thiol photo-chemically 15 h at room temperature and additional 3 h thermally at 80 ̊C. Subsequently, disulfides were reduced with lithi...

A novel zwitterion acting as both a functional monomer and a crosslinker with the protein-resistant ability concomitantly was synthesized for preparing water compatible diclofenac imprinted polymers. This new imprinted polymer showed high imprinting efficiency for template and strong anti-protein adsorption in aqueous medium.

Molecularly imprinted polymers bearing peptide fragment-based binding sites within the protein-imprinted cavities were prepared by copolymerization of the acrylated protein with 6-monoacryloyl-trehalose and 6,6'-diacryloyl-trehalose as a hydrophilic comonomer and a crosslinker respectively, followed by enzymatic decomposition of the grafted protein into the polymer matrix with pepsin, resulting...

Non-enzymatic nanocomposites and their modified electrodes, including carbon nanotubes, graphene, metal nanoparticles, oxides, conductive polymers, MOFs derivatives, molecularly imprinted polymers are discussed in the rapid electrochemical sensing of OPPs.

New molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for the recognition of barbiturates were synthesised by “bulk” polymerisation. These prepared using pentobarbital as template in combination with a novel Hamilton receptor functional monomer. The solution binding properties monomer assessed NMR titration experiments, showing high affinity and lower related compounds lacking ability to form many hydrogen...

Magnetic molecular imprinted polymers nanozyme MIPs@Fe3O4-NH2 with high specificity and excellent peroxidase-like activity was prepared for colorimetric detection of protocatechuic acid (PCA). Firstly, obtained by self-polymerization dopamine as a functional monomer on the surface Fe3O4-NH2, enabling formation specific recognition cavities. Later, elution PCA using polar solvents resulted in cr...
