The consisted CR transducer made rGO channel bridging source drain electrodes prepared by self-assembly thermal reduction (GO) on Au interdigitated chip fabricated Si/SiO2 s...

in this work, the template, monomer and cross-linker with the ratio of 1:8:40 were used to synthesize molecularly imprinted polymers (mips) for extraction of the bioactive chemical compounds from some traditional herbs as a sorbent material. quercetin, methacrylic acid (maa), trimethylolpropanetrimethacrylate (trim) and tetrahydrofuran (thf) were used as a template, functional monomer, cross-li...

Mahboobeh Manoochehri*, Homayon Ahmad Panahi, Meghdad Karimi Department of Chemistry, Islamic Azad University, Tehran Central Branch, Tehran, Iran. (Received 10 May 2012; Final version received 23 Nov. 2012) Abstract A new Pb(II) imprinted mercapto functionalized Montmorillonite was synthesize by an easy one step reaction by combining a surface imprinting technique for selective phase extractio...

The copolymer metal complexes in the form of imprinted polymers were prepared from Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), Acrylic acid (AAc), Acrylamide (AAm) and 2-Acrylamido-2methyl propane sulfonic acid (AMPS) monomers irradiated in presence of different metal ions and crosslinking agent. Characteristics and some properties of the prepared imprinted and grafted polymers were investigated. Also the poss...

A dopamine-imprinted polymer (MIP) was prepared in aqueous methanol solution at 60(o)C by free-radical cross-linking polymerization of methacrylic acid in the presence of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker and dopamine hydrochloride as the template molecule. Its ability to isolate dopamine was evaluated as the basis of a solid phase extraction procedure and compared with that of...

Molecular imprinting is a technique for preparing polymer scaffolds that function as synthetic receptors. Imprinted polymers that can selectively bind organic compounds have proven useful in sensor development. Although creating synthetic molecular-imprinting polymers that recognize proteins remains challenging, nanodevices and nanomaterials show promise in this area. Here, we show that arrays ...

The relationship between molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) morphology and template-rebinding over a series of warfarin-imprinted methacrylic acid co(ethylene dimethacrylate) polymers has been explored. Detailed investigations of the nature of template recognition revealed that an optimal template binding was obtained with polymers possessing a narrow population of pores (~3-4 nm) in the meso...

A novel Zn(II) imprinted polymer was synthesized via a co-precipitation method using graphene oxide/magnetic chitosan nanocomposite as supporting material. The synthesized imprinted polymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and applied as a sorbent for selective magnetic solid phase extraction of zinc followed by its deter...

Conductometric sensors have been fabricated by applying imprinted polymers as receptors for monitoring engine oil quality. Titania and silica layers are synthesized via the sol-gel technique and used as recognition materials for acidic components present in used lubricating oil. Thin-film gold electrodes forming an interdigitated structure are used as transducers to measure the conductance of p...
