Preparation and characterization of monodisperse molecularly imprinted polymer microspheres by precipitation polymerization for kaempferol

A new kind of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) microspheres for the selective extraction of kaempferol was prepared by precipitation polymerization using 4-vinylpridine (4-VP) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as functional monomer and cross-linker respectively. The synthesis conditions, such as ratios of 4-VP/EDMA and polymerization time were discussed in detail. Results showed that...

Microfluidic synthesis of monodisperse porous microspheres with size-tunable pores

We use a perfluorinated-dendrimer–dye complex that stabilizes microbubbles as a novel pore-forming agent. We use microfluidics to produce monodisperse emulsions containing a polymer matrix material, a model active, and the perfluorinated complex; upon drying, the emulsions form porous microspheres. This porosity causes the encapsulated model active to be released faster than from non-porous mic...

A novel strategy for constructing clustered point mutations.

We have modified the synthetic linker mutagenesis procedure (1,2) in order to facilitate both the construction and the analysis of deletions, insertions and clustered point mutations generated in DNA in vitro. The protocol as originally described by McKnight and Kingsbury (1) involved attaching a synthetic linker sequence to each 5' or 3' deletion endpoint in DNA. We have designed specific plas...

Monodisperse magnetic single-crystal ferrite microspheres.

It has been thought that many novel properties and potential applications would emerge from monodisperse materials with small dimensions. Therefore, the synthesis of monodisperse nanoparticles has been intensively pursued for their technological and fundamental scientific importance. The synthesis of nanostructured magnetic materials has become a particularly important area of research and is a...
