“…In this study, we describe the fundamental properties (physical appearance, hydrophilicity, porous structure) of a novel polymer monolith prepared from the water‐soluble crosslinking agent by the contact angle of water, SEM, and SPM. Previously, we reported about the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) prepared with the water‐soluble crosslinking agent and water15 and the MIPs showed high hydrophilicity. In this time, two kinds of poly(ethylene glycol)‐diacrylate‐based monomers were utilized as the water‐soluble crosslinking agents (shown in Fig.…”
