Portable biomimetic sensor devices for the express control of phenols content in water were developed. The synthetic binding sites mimicking active site of the enzyme tyrosinase were formed in the structure of free-standing molecularly imprinted polymer membranes. Molecularly imprinted polymer membranes with the catalytic activity were obtained by co-polymerization of the complex Cu(II)-catecho...

Poly (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) PHEMA monolithic cryogels were synthesized by free radical polymerization at -12°C for 18 hours and produced spongy, elastic and macroporous gel matrix. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) measured structural properties of PHEMA monolithic cryogel matrix to visualize pore morphology. Mechanical properties of PHEMA monolithic cryogel such as storage modulus, com...

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...

A bulk polymerization method was used to easily and efficiently prepare homoveratric acid (3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid)-imprinted polymers from eight basic monomers: 2-vinylpyridine, 4-vinylpyridine, 1-vinylimidazole, N-allylaniline, N-allylpiperazine, allylurea, allylthiourea, and allylamine, in the presence of homoveratric acid as a template in N,N-dimethylformamide as a porogen. The impri...

An interdigitated electrode sensor was designed and microfabricated for measuring the 11 changes in the capacitance of three phosphate selective molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) 12 formulations, in order to provide hydroponics users with a portable nutrient sensing tool. The 13 MIPs investigated were synthesised using different combinations of the functional monomers 14 methacrylic acid (MAA...

We have employed FITC--albumin as the protein template molecule in an aqueous phase molecular imprinted polymer (HydroMIP) strategy. For the first time, the use of a fluorescently labeled template is reported, with subsequent characterization of the smart material to show that the HydroMIP possesses a significant molecular memory in comparison to that of the nonimprinted control polymer (HydroN...

The aim of the work is to design and synthesize and evaluate the polymer recognition characteristics of molecularly imprinted polymers selective for trans-retinol (R-MIP). The optimal amount of template and methacrylic acid (MAA) functional monomer as well as ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) acts as the crosslinker was examined toward imprinting process using radical polymerization in chlo...
