A Study of the Strength of a Template Molecule—A Functional Monomer Interaction That Affects the Performance of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers and Its Application to Chiral Amplification
molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), N-benzoyl-(S)-valine anilide-imprinted polymer (IP-2), was prepared using hydrogen-bonding interactions as a main force in the pre-polymerization step. The performance of the IP-2 was evaluated via batch procedure and compared with a (S)-valine anilide-imprinted polymer (IP-1) that was prepared using an ionic interaction that is stronger than hydrogenbonding. Although both
We evaluated the adsorbability and selectivity of (S)-valine anilide imprinted molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) using a batch procedure that is both independent and precise. This study revealed important information about the relationship between the performance of MIPs and experimental factors such as the components of MIP synthesis and a reaction solvent. Herein, we also describe the problems associated with the preparation of a “non-imprinted polymer,” which is often used to evaluate the effect of a template molecule, and we propose a new type of reference polymer, “blank polymer.”
