A new approach is proposed for the synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) (synthetic antibodies) as soluble nanogels with sizes close to the size of real antibodies. To imprint a molecular memory in particles consisting of only a few polymer chains, an initiator carrying multiple iniferter moieties is used. This allows for the simultaneous initiation of several polymer chains, and y...

We report examples of crystal surface modification of polyoxometalate open frameworks whereby the use of pyrrole or aniline as monomers leads to the formation of the corresponding polymers via an oxidative polymerization process initiated by the redox active POM scaffolds. Guest-exchange experiments demonstrate that the polymers can finely tune the guest exchange rate and their structural integ...

Conducting filaments of polyaniline have been prepared in the 3-nanometer-wide hexagonal channel system of the aluminosilicate MCM-41. Adsorption of aniline vapor into the dehydrated host, followed by reaction with peroxydisulfate, leads to encapsulated polyaniline filaments. Spectroscopic data show that the filaments are in the protonated emeraldine salt form, and chromatography indicates chai...

This communication reports a new approach to synthesize amphiphilic block copolymers. The copolymers with well-defined structures were synthesized by macromolecular azo-coupling reaction between the diazonium salt of aniline-functionalized PEG and the polymeric blocks with a terminal suitable for the azo-coupling reaction.

Polymeric films constructed using the layer-by-layer (LbL) fabrication process were employed as a platform for metal ion immobilization and applied as a marine antifouling coating. The novel Cu2+ ion imprinting process described is based on the use of metal ion templates and LbL multilayer covalent cross-linking. Custom synthesized, peptide mimicking polycations composed of histidine grafted po...

Molecular Imprinting Technology (MIT) is a technique to design artificial receptors with a predetermined selectivity and specificity for a given analyte, which can be used as ideal materials in various application fields. Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs), the polymeric matrices obtained using the imprinting technology, are robust molecular recognition elements able to mimic natural recogni...

Uniformly-sized molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for (S)-nilvadipine have been prepared by a multi-step swelling and polymerization method using methacrylic acid or 4-vinylpyridine (4-VPY) as a functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as a cross-linker, and toluene, chloroform, cyclohexanol or phenylacetonitrile as a porogen. The chiral recognition abilities of the MIPs fo...

in this study, for the analysis of human urine samples, a novel method explained for the determination of celecoxib, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (nsaid), using molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (mispe) coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (hplc). the synthesis of the mip was performed by precipitation polymerization in methacrylic acid (maa), ethylene glycol ...

Six different protein-imprinted polymers using three template proteins with acidic or basic functional monomers resulted in unique fingerprints not only for the corresponding template but also for other proteins, allowing profiling of proteins for identification and classification.
