Abstract: The molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized by precipitation polymerization with caffeine as template, methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linker. A selective electrode for the potentiometric determination of caffeine in the aqueous medium was developed using the MIP-modified coated-wire electrode. The electrode shows response for caffeine in a concentration range of 1.0×10-8 to 1.0×10-5 M with a lower detection limit of 5.0×10-9 M. The electrode can be used for more than 100 times. The response time is 15 s and the signal is constant in the pH range 6.4 to 9.0. The electrode can be successfully applied for the monitoring of caffeine in syrup sample.

Abstract: HA MIP was prepared in acetonitrile-ethylene glycol mixed solvent ( 20:1，v/v), HA was used as the template, methacrylic acid (MAA) as the functional monomer, azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator and ethylene glycol dimethaerylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linker. The UV spectrophotometry was used to demonstrate the interaction between HA and MAA. The adsorption characteristics of MIP to HA have been studied by equilibrium binding experiment and Scatchard analysis. The data obtained show that MIP reached equilibrium within 6 h. It is found that within the studied concentration range one HA molecule is entrapped by two MAA molecules The Scatchard chart shows the apparent maximum binding capacity (Bmax) and the dissociation contents (KD) of MIP are 170.5 μmol/g and 0.18 mmol/L, respctively. The MIP synthesized by this method have better binding ability to histamine and can be applied on the separation and detection of histamine.

Abstract: In this paper, using environmental hormone dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in the contaminated foods as the template molecule, methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate ester (EDMA) as cross linking agent, the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was prepared on the silica surface. The MIP was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimeric analysis (TGA) and automated surface area analyzer. The property of adsorption was tested using static adsorption method in water phrase. The results of FTIR indicate that there are recognition groups in the microspheres after imprinting. TGA illustrates the silica gel surface has been coated with a layer of polymer after the synthesis reaction. And the MIP can bear the high temperature of 200 °C. The thickness of the imprinted polymer coated on silica gel surface is estimated via the pore size data is about 1. 5nm. The result of static adsorption experiment shows that the saturated adsorption capacity of the MIP was 8.940mg/g.

Abstract: Molecular imprinting technology is a kind of new-emerging polymerizing technology, which produces molecule recognition materials with high selectivity an affinity. MIPs were synthesized using acrylic amide as functional monomers, azodiisobutyronitrile as initiator, and lutelin as template molecules. The absorption capability of MIPs wans studied. The results showed that the imprinting efficiency is 97.9%.

Abstract: Molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) for antitumor drug Epothilone B have been synthesized with bulk polumerization in order to specifically extract this agent in the present study. MIP was prepared by thermal polymerisation using Epothilone B as template, methacrylic acid as functional monomer, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linking agent. The best synthesis progenic solvent was ultimately determined when the bonding property of the polymer was studied. The selectivity of imprinted polymer on Epothilone B was also studied. The equilibrium binding experiments showed that the binding site of MIPs was heterogeneous with one binding site. Equilibrium dissociation constant was 3.37 mg/ml, the maximum apparent adsorption was 335 mg/g.

Abstract: To isolate capsaicin effectively, molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) with capsaicin were synthesized with methacrylicacid (MAA) as function monomers, ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross linker by non-covalent method. Technological parameters for the preparation of MIPs were optimized by L9(34) orthogonal test. The static equilibrium binding and recognition properties of MIPs to capsaicin were also investigated. The surface structure of the MIPs was visualized by scanning electron micrography. The results show that the optimistic composition of MIP is as following: 0.25 mmol capsaicin, 7.0 mL acetonitrile, 3.0 mL ethylether, 1.25 mmol MAA and 100 μL 80% tween-80. The adsorption isotherms indicates that the MIPs show a good imprinting effect (QMIPs=23.44 mg/g). The MIPs have the specific recognition selectivity for capsaicin in the mixture. Thus, compared with zingerone and piperine which are similar in molecular structure and property to capsaicin, the MIPs show a good selectivity and intense recognition of the template molecule.

Abstract: Molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) are synthetic materials having specific cavities which are highly specific towards the template molecule. In this paper, diosgenin-imprinted polymer microspheres (DG-MIPs) were prepared by precipitation polymerization, using diosgenin as template, methacrylic acid as functional monomer and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate as crosslinker. The morphology and adsorption capacity of the microspheres were evaluated by HPLC and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optimal reaction conditions were as follows: 2 mM DG, 6 mM MMA, 60 mM EGDMA and 4 mM AIBN. The method developed might be used to separate and extract effective constituents from Chinese medicinal plants on a large scale.

Abstract: Molecular imprinted polymers were synthesized using α-methylacrylacid as monomer, acetylsalicylic acid as template. Polyethylene glycol dimethylacrylate was taken as cross-linker. UV-Vis spectrophotometer was used to detect the drug-loading and releasing performances of these polymers. The studies showed that the imprinted polymers could load more drugs than non-imprinted polymer, and exhibited a slower drug-releasing rate than the latter at pH 7.4. The content of cross-linker had influences on drug-loading amounts. The imprinted polymer released few drugs at the buffer solution of pH 1.2.
