The molecularly imprinted polymers for gallic acid were synthesized by precipitation polymerization. During the process of synthesis a non-covalent approach was used for the interaction of template and monomer. In the polymerization process, gallic acid was used as a template, acrylic acid as a functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a cross-linker and 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile ...

In  the  current  study,  a  new  technique  was  developed  for  quantification  and  qualification  of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (PSE) in a real sample, which was based on electrochemical sensors and  molecular  imprinted  polymer  (MIP).  The  carbon  paste  electrode  (CPE)  was  modified  and optimized by a different ratio of MIP. MIP/CPE was used as the extraction and working electrod...

to extract active components from the traditional Chinese medicine Polygonum cuspidatum using a trans-resveratrol imprinted polymer. Good separation and purification of trans-resveratrol and emodin from the Polygonum cuspidatum extract are achieved after condition optimization. The extraction recoveries are 83% and 99% for trans-resveratol and emodin, respectively. The results show that the mol...

Superparamagnetic nanoparticles are of great current interest for biomedical applications in both diagnostics and treatment. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) can be manipulated by magnetic fields, so that when functionalized, they can be used for the purification and separation of biomolecules and even whole cells. Here we report combining the separation capabilities of MNPs with the functional (bi...

The system of polyacrylamide incorporated with methacrylic acid and 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate was studied for the possibility of imprinting of lysozyme. The results show that approximately 27% (w/w) of the lysozyme template was not able to be extracted from the molecularly imprinted acrylamide polymers. The amount of the lysozyme template able to be extracted was increased by the addi...

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are gaining great interest as tailor-made recognition materials for the development of biomimetic sensors. Various approaches have been adopted to interface MIPs with different transducers, including the use of pre-made imprinted particles and the in situ preparation of thin polymer layers directly on transducer surfaces. In this work we functionalized quar...

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...

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 ...

Molecularly imprinted polymers were prepared and tested in different ways. 1-Methyl-2-piperidinoethylester of 4-decyloxyphenylcarbamic acid was used as the template for imprints formation. Acrylamide, 4-vinylpyridine, and methacrylic acid as monomers and methanol and acetonitrile as a porogene were used. Non-imprinted polymers were prepared for each imprinted polymer by the same procedure. Poly...

A new molecularly imprinted polymer for extraction of crocin from saffron stigmas was prepared using gentiobiose (a glycoside moiety in crocin structure) as a template. Crocin binding to gentiobiose imprinted polymer (Gent-MIP) was studied in comparison with a blank nonimprinted polymer in aqueous media. Affinity of the Gent-MIP for the crocin was more than the nonimprinted polymer at all conce...
