“…Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have been a focus of intensifying research as the application of these artificial receptors becomes more widespread. Recent reviews have described MIPs applied to sensing (Piletsky et al ., ; Ge et al ., ; Wackerlig and Lieberzeit, ), drug delivery (Ganjali et al ., ; Alvrez‐Lorenzo and Concheiro, ; Schirhagl, ), chromatographic separations (Cheong et al ., 2013; Cheong et al ., 2013a; Song et al ., ) and catalysis (Resmini et al ., ; Muratsugu and Tada, ). Typically, MIPs are synthesized by dissolving the template or target molecule in a suitable solvent along with an appropriate functional monomer.…”

Molecularly imprinted polymers provide an alternative to traditional methods of amino acid analysis. The imprinted polymers are more robust and significantly less expensive than, for example, ELISA analysis. Amino acid imprinted nylon-6 thin films were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. Endothermic peaks were observed for imprinted films at temperatures higher than that for pure nylon, indicating the formation of a more-ordered, hydrogen bonded polymer. Removal of the amino acid from the imprinted film resulted in reversion to the peak observed for pure nylon-6. Additives, β-cyclodextrin and multiwalled carbon nanotubes, were added to the imprinted polymer solutions as a means to increase the porosity of the films. These studies resulted in alternative morphologies and calorimetric results that provide additional functionalities and applications for imprinted polymers.
