Hybrid Materials Formed with Green Metal-Organic Frameworks and Polystyrene as Sorbents in Dispersive Micro-Solid-Phase Extraction for Determining Personal Care Products in Micellar Cosmetics.

Hybrid materials based on polystyrene (PS) and green metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated as potential sorbents in dispersive micro-solid-phase extraction (µ-dSPE). Among the resulting materials, the hybrid PS/DUT-67(Zr) was selected as the adequate extraction material for the monitoring of six personal care products in micellar cosmetic samples, combining the µ-dSPE method with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to ultraviolet/visible detection (UV/Vis). Univariate studies and a factorial design were performed in the optimization of the microextraction procedure.

Silver nanoparticles supported onto a stainless steel wire for direct-immersion solid-phase microextraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons prior to their determination by GC-FID.

The authors describe a new coating for use in solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were prepared by using gallic acid or glucose as the reducing agents, and then supported onto a stainless steel wire that was previously coated with a silver mirror. Coating with AgNPs was performed by a layer-by-layer approach of up to eight cycles of consecutive deposition of AgNPs and the thiol linker 1,8-octanedithiol.
