An electrospun composite of poly vinyl chloride/ethylene vinyl acetate/chitosan/starch (PVC/EVA/CS/Str) was synthesized and used as a new sorbent for thin film-micro solid phase extraction (TF-µSPE) of atrazine (ATZ) and ametryn (AMT) prior to corona discharge-ionic mobility spectrometry (CD-IMS) analysis. From the evaluation of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the synthesis of composite nanaofibers was approved. Based on the investigations, thanks to the existence of CS/Str, the synthesized composite nanofibers exhibited large surface area, high porosity, and acceptable reusability. Also, the sorbent provided various interactions with the intended analytes, (hydrophobic contacts, hydrogen bonding, and π-π stacking interactions) resulting in the improvement of extraction efficiency. Effective factors on adsorption and desorption steps were optimized by using both design-expert and one at time method. Under the optimized conditions, the linearity was obtained 8.0-300.0 ng. mL− 1 with determination coefficient (r2) ≥ 0.9821. Limits of detection (LOD) based on S/N = 3 were 2.5 ng.mL− 1 and 2.3 ng. mL− 1 for ATZ and AMT, respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) were in range of between 4.8 and 7.0%. Finally, the efficiency of the TF-µSPE-CD-IMS method was evaluated for the determination of ATZ and AMT in lettuce, tomato, and milk samples with good recoveries (88.6 to 98.1%).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
