Quercetin molecularly imprinted polymers: Preparation, recognition characteristics and properties as sorbent for solid-phase extraction

Molecularly imprinted polymers by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer precipitation polymerization for preconcentration of atrazine in food matrices

“…Cross-linkers play a vital role in the recognition property of MIPs because they control network structure of MIPs [7]. EGDMA, TRIM and DVB were introduced for cross-linkers selection.…”

Novel Hg2+-imprinted polymers based on thymine–Hg2+–thymine interaction for highly selective preconcentration of Hg2+ in water samples

“…In the past few decades, MIPs have aroused extensive attentions and been widely applied in many fields, such as solid-phase extraction (SPE) [4,5] and chemical sensors [6,7], owing to their desired selectivity, physical robustness, thermal stability, as well as low cost and easy preparation. Up to date, most of organic molecules [8,9], inorganic metal ions [10][11][12] and biological macromolecules [13,14] have been used as templates to prepare MIPs. However, only a small quantity of functional monomers can be used in molecular imprinting, for example, methacrylic acid (MAA), acrylic amide (AA) and 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP), to some extent which restricts the selectivity and the further applications of MIPs.…”

Recent advances in molecular imprinting technology: current status, challenges and highlighted applications

“…3,4 Compared to other recognition systems, MIPs possess many promising characteristics, such as low cost and easy synthesis, high stability to harsh chemical and physical conditions, and excellent reusability. Consequently, MIPs have become increasingly attractive in many fields, particularly as selective adsorbents for solid-phase extraction (SPE), [5][6][7][8] chromatographic separation, 9 and chemical sensors. [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] There are two main methods to form molecular imprinting, one relying on reversible covalent bonds introduced by Wulff, 21 and the other involving non-covalent interactions proposed by Mosbach,22 between imprinted molecules (templates) and functional monomers.…”
