A cotinine sensor based on the dc resistance of a polymer composite films is presented. The composite film comprises a cotinine selective molecularly imprinted polymer and carbon nanotube particles. This polymer film is deposited over a gold interdigitated electrode array to measure its electrical resistance. The electrical resistance of the imprinted polymer changes upon its selective binding ...

Here we show that molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles, prepared in aqueous media by solid phase synthesis with immobilised L-thyroxine, glucosamine, fumonisin B2 or biotin as template, can demonstrate comparable or better performance to commercially produced antibodies in enzyme-linked competitive assays. Imprinted nanoparticles-based assays showed detection limits in the pM range and p...

The first successfully developed molecularly imprinted polymer toward six ergot alkaloids and their respective epimers is described. A new imprinting molecule, metergoline, was used as template analogue in the production of suspension polymerized beads. These spherical particles functioned as selective sorbent in a solid-phase extraction column. The application of this column in the cleanup of ...

An ultrathin novel nanosensor (31.5 +/- 4.1 nm thick in the absence of analytes), employing a molecularly imprinted polymer as a recognition element for cholesterol and gold nanoparticle enhanced transmission surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy for detection, was constructed.

A facile, general, and highly efficient approach to obtain narrowly dispersed molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres with multiple stimuli-responsive template binding properties in aqueous media by successive RAFT polymerization is described.

The molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) based on methacrylic acid functionalized β-cyclodextrin (MAA-β-CD) monomer was synthesized for the purpose of selective recognition of benzylparaben (BzP). The MAA-β-CD monomer was produced by bridging a methacrylic acid (MAA) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) using toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) by reacting the -OH group of MAA and one of the primary -OH groups ...

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is a biogenic amine that acts as a neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous systems [1]. It is present in a variety of organisms, ranging from humans to species such as worms that have primitive nervous systems [2], and mediates a variety of physiological responses in distinct cell types. It is believed to play a role in the regulation of various co...

The cover image is based on the Short Communication Determination of aflatoxin B1 by biomass derived porous carbon modified electrode with molecularly imprinted polymer Longyi Chen et al., DOI: 10.1002/elan.202200371.
