Hydrophilic molecularly imprinted polymers for selective recognition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in aqueous media

摘要

A hydrophilic molecularly imprinted polymer (H-MIP) for selective recognition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in an aqueous medium has been developed in which a hydrophilic functional comonomer is used to improve the surface hydrophilicity. By using phenanthrene as a model, the proposed H-MIP exhibits remarkably improved selectivity in aqueous solution.
