Naphthalene vapor sorption by polymer nanoparticles with molecularly imprinted shells

Abstract

The process of naphthalene adsorption from the gas phase by layers of core shell polymer nano particles obtained with the use of molecular imprinting methods is studied by the fluorescent analysis method. Within the pseudo second order kinetic model of sorption, data on the rate constants of fluorescence change are obtained, primary regularities of the sorption process are determined, and the presence of selective rec ognition sites in the shells of nanoparticles is proven.

Molecularly Imprinted Nanomaterials for Sensor Applications

“…Selective recognition of naphthalene in vapor form has been observed by a layer of core-shell polymer nanoparticles obtained via imprinting technology. A pseudo-second order kinetic approach for fluorescent analysis was employed, which showed selective recognition of the target analyte with a high rate constant [ 74 ].…”
