By using melamine (MEL) as the template molecule, magnetic surface molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs) were prepared. Methacrylic acid (MAA) was chosen as the functional monomer, and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) was chosen as the cross-linker, and FeO@SiO was used as the magnetic supporter. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were used to characterize the polymers. An imprinted polymer layer was found on the surface of the FeO@SiO nanomaterials. MMIPs were applied to extract and enrich melamine in milk samples. The specific recognition capability of the material was confirmed by high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis. Thus, a simple and selective method was successfully established using MMIPs as sorbents to detect melamine in milk with satisfactory results.
The magnetic surface molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with specific recognition of 4-methyl imidazole (4-MI) were prepared by using 4-MI as template molecule, methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer and Fe3O4 as magnetic fluid. The polymers were characterized by of Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results demonstrated that an imprinted polymer layer was successfully coated onto the surface of modified Fe3O4 nanomaterials, resulting in a narrow diameter distribution and good magnetic responsibility. The ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry was used to demonstrate the interaction between 4-MI and MAA. It was found that one 4-MI molecule was entrapped by one MAA molecule, which was the main existing form of subject and object. By UV spectrophotometric method to study the adsorption performance of magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers, the specific adsorption equilibrium and selectivity were evaluated by batch rebinding studies. The Scatchard analysis showed that there were two kinds of binding sites in the Fe3O4 @ (4-MI-MIP). The corresponding maximum adsorption capacities of 4-MI onto Fe3O4 @ (4-MI-MIP) were 40.31 mg/g and 23.07 mg/g, and the dissociation constants were 64.85 mg/L and 30.41 mg/L, respectively. The kinetic experimental data were correlated with second-order kinetic model. The magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers were used for the adsorption of 4-methyl imidazole in environmental water samples, and good results were obtained.
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.
