In the past few years, the sol-gel polycondensation technique has been increasingly employed with great success as an alternative approach to the preparation of molecularly imprinted materials (MIMs). The main aim of this study was to study, through a series of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, the selectivity of an imprinted silica xerogel towards a new template-the (±)-2-(P-Isobutylphenyl)...

A novel molecular imprinted sensor based on CdTe@SiO2 quantum dots (QDs) was developed for norepinephrine (NE) recognition. The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) on the surface of CdTe@SiO2 QDs (CdTe@SiO2@MIP) was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. The synthesized nanosensor had a distinguished selectivity ...

Highly sensitive flow-injection chemiluminescence (CL) combined with molecularly imprinted solid-phase extraction (MISPE) has been used for determination of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in water samples. The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for 2,4-DCP was prepared by non-covalent molecular imprinting methods, using 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the mon...

Here we report an electrochemical sensor for the determination of picric acid (PA) based on molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) reduced graphene oxide (rGO) coated pencil graphite electrode (PGE). Pyrrole (Py) was electropolymerized surface rGO modified PGE, where PA used as template. After extraction molecules from matrix, MIP|rGO|PGE obtained. Computational studies were carried out to predict...

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is one of the most significant pollutant in form wastewater. It could have negative effects on environment include emission biogas and water pollution which comes from discharging brownish tick POME to bodies if not properly managed. Discharge dark colored directly into may affect aquatic life as it will reduce sunlight penetration suppress photosynthetic activity....

Nowadays, it is still difficult for molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) to achieve homogeneous recognition since they cannot be easily dissolved in organic or aqueous phase. To address this issue, soluble molecularly imprinted nanorods have been synthesized by using soluble polyaniline doped with a functionalized organic protonic acid as the polymer matrix. By employing 1-naphthoic acid as a ...
