Dynamic studies of molecular imprinting polymerizations

چکیده
Mechanisms of interaction of a three-dimensional polymer with solutes are of interest in the development and function of synthetic biomimetic polymers. We have investigated the effects of template/monomer interactions and template concentration on conversion and polymerization rates of a molecularly imprinted polymer. Copolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEG600DMA) were prepared in the presence of glucose. The polymerization reaction kinetics of non-imprinted networks as well as those imprinted with glucose at concentration ratios of [HEMA]/[Glucose] between 11 and 1 were monitored in situ by ATR–FTIR spectroscopy and differential photocalorimetry (DPC). The rates of polymerization for imprinted polymers showed an early lag period followed by a late autoacceleration, indicative of the complexation between monomer and template. Hydrogen-bonding was also observed using FTIR through the CaO (carbonyl) bond of the monomers by FTIR. A significant effect of the template on conversion and polymerization rate of imprinted polymers was observed compared to non-imprinted ones. These values provide guidelines for kinetic models of interacting systems. q 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Background Genomic imprinting is a heritable and developmentally essential phenomenon by which gene expression occurs in an allele-specific manner1. While the imprinted alleles are primarily silenced by DNA methylation, it remains largely unknown how methylation is targeted to imprinting control region (ICR), also called differentially methylated region (DMR), and maintained. Here we show that ...

Within biological systems, these are usually dynamic and are the result of a mass of noncovalent interactions, which act collectively to form a very stable system. Molecular imprinting is a relatively new and rapidly evolving technique used to create synthetic receptors, having recognition properties comparable to the biological systems and it also possesses great potential in a number of appli...
متن کاملThe Kinetics of Polymerization
A comprehensive review is presented on the kinetics of polymerizations, as a summary of the studies on the polymerization kinetics performed in the authors' laboratory. Polymerizations were in the first place classified into several classes according to the relative magnitude of the rates of the elementary steps. The specific features of the kinetics were discussed by classifying into four main...
