By combining the specific molecular recognition capability of MIPs and the asymmetric structure of Janus particles, the Janus MIP particles which were synthesized via a wax-water Pickering emulsion showed attractive capabilities as self-propelled transporters for controlled drug delivery.

A precise and simple in-situ voltammetric measurement of promethazine, based on the nano sized molecularly imprinted polymer (nano-MIP) was introduced. The nano-MIP was synthesized utilizing vinyl benzene and Divinylbenzene as the functional monomer and cross-linker respectively, and via the micro-emulsion polymerization method in silicon oil. The MIP particles were then embedded in a carbon pa...

A thermo-sensitive imprinted polymer coating CdTe quantum dots was developed to prepare fluorescent thermo-sensitive protein-affinity materials, which exhibited high specific recognition ability towards target proteins.

Selective polymeric extractants were prepared for preconcentration of Cibacron reactive red dye, a dye that is often applied with Cibacron reactive blue and Cibacron reactive yellow for dyeing of fabrics. The best extractant was fabricated (in chloroform) using methacrylic acid (as monomer), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (as crosslinker), AIBN (as initiator for polymerization), and red dye as ...

In this study, we have focused our attention on combining of molecular imprinting into nanofilms and QCM nanosensor approaches and producing QCM nanosensor for antiCCP, chosen as model protein, using anti-CCP imprinted nanofilms. The nonimprinted nanosensor was also prepared to evaluate the selectivity of the imprinted nanosensor. Anti-CCP imprinted QCM nanosensor was tested for real time detec...

The aim of this work was to investigate the possibility of employing Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) as a controlled release device for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in biological fluids, especially gastrointestinal ones, compared to Non Imprinted Polymers (NIPs). MIPs were synthesized using methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as crosslinking ag...

Silver ion imprinted polymer (IIP) was synthesized in the presence of Ag(I)-N,N’-bis(salicylidene) ethylenediamine (salen) complex using 4-vinylpyridine as the functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinker, and 2,2-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as the initiator. The Ag(I)-imprinted polymer (IIP) particles were characterized by SEM (scanning electron microscope)...

An enzyme free potentiometric sensor for reducing sugars (glucose and fructose) based on molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) modified on glassy carbon electrode was systematically investigated. It was expected to work like a solid ion selective electrode (ISE) where the specific carrier are the imprinted sites. The polymer for the selective recognition of glucose and fructose were synthesized b...
