a b s t r a c tNovel nano-sized dummy-surface molecularly imprinted polymers (DSMIPs) on a magnetic graphene oxide (GO-Fe 3 O 4 ) surface were developed as substrates, using propionamide as a dummy template molecule for the selective recognition and rapid pre-concentration and removal of acrylamide (AM) from food samples. These products showed rapid kinetics, high binding capacity (adsorption at 3.68 mgÁg À1 ), and selectivity (imprinting factor a 2.83); the adsorption processes followed the Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Excellent recognition selectivity toward acrylamide was achieved compared to structural analogs, such as propionic and acrylic acids (selectivity factor b 2.33, and 2.20, respectively). Moreover, DSMIPs-GO-Fe 3 O 4 was used to quantify acrylamide in food samples, yielding satisfactory recovery (86.7-94.3%) and low relative standard deviation (<4.85%). Thus, our DSMIPs-GO-Fe 3 O 4 -based procedure was demonstrated to be a convenient and practical method for the separation, enrichment, and removal of acrylamide from food samples.
