A molecular imprinting polymer technique was successfully applied to precipitation polymerization by using styrene as a functional monomer, curcuminoids as templates, acetonitrile as a porogenic solvent, benzoyl peroxide as the initiator, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the crosslinker. The effects of interaction on the adsorption capacity of the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) and no...

Doxycycline (DXy) is a cycline antibiotic, most frequently prescribed to treat bacterial infections in veterinary medicine. However, its broad antimicrobial activity and low cost, lead to an intensive use, which can seriously affect human health. Therefore, its spread in the food products has to be monitored. The scope of this work was to synthetize a sensitive and very selective molecularly im...

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.

Six different protein-imprinted polymers using three template proteins with acidic or basic functional monomers resulted in unique fingerprints not only for the corresponding template but also for other proteins, allowing profiling of proteins for identification and classification.

The goal of this research is to elucidate the mechanism of virus recognition in molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) using already utilized techniques. Our approach employs a more flexible non-covalent imprinting method which starts from a readily available polymer and utilizes an aqueous environment for both MIP synthesis and testing. Virus MIPs against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) were synthes...

In the current study, piezosensors based on molecularly imprinted polyimides with imprints of potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate were obtained. Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) synthesized using a polyimide non-covalent imprinting technique. It was established that use 0.1 g/mL template concentration at thermochemical stage led to formation maximum number molecular film surface. Using s...

In this short review article, we discuss the significant progresses, which have been made in bacterial entrapment techniques over the past decade. Recently, the biocompatibility of conducting polymers as well as the straightforwardness in their preparation has focused more attention on this technique. The key feature of the technique is that bacteria-doped films can be prepared by a single-step...

Herein we report a sensor array based on quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) to simultaneously detect two biomarkers, namely low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Selective recognition takes place through molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) with both MIPs and corresponding non-imprinted polymer (NIP) as reference electrode. Sensor array performs highly appreciably in...
