Surface-imprinted polymers have been newly developed for the separation of lanthanoid elements: i.e. La(III), Ce(III), and Dy(III). The imprinted polymers were prepared by surface template polymerization with dioleylphosphoric acid, which exhibits a high affinity to lanthanoids, as a functional host molecule. Separation behavior of La(III), Ce(III) and Dy(III) was investigated with the imprinted polymers, and the imprinting effect of the polymers was evaluated in comparison with that of the unimprinted polymers and also with a conventional solvent extraction method for the same lanthanoid ions. The results indicate that the increase of selectivity for Dy(III) compared to the rest of the ions by the surface-imprinted polymers originated from a synergistic effect of both the affinity with the functional host molecule in nature and the size exclusion by the cavity formed on the polymer surface.

Diazepam (DZP) is a muscle-relaxing, anxiety-relieving sedative drug; nonetheless, it is also an addictive drug that may be abused. This work reports on the development of a novel electrochemical nanosensor for diazepam using SiO-encapsulated-3-mercaptopropionic acid-capped AuZnCeSeS quantum dots (QDs) overcoated with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) on screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs). Electrochemical, spectroscopic and electron microscopic characterization of the nanomaterial and modified electrode surface was carried out and is reported herein.

In this study, novel triple-template magnetic nanospheres by surface imprinting, called triple-template magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (tri-MMIPs), were prepared for the detection of steroid hormones in human serum. The polymers were constructed by FeO as support, estrone (E1), progesterone (PROG), and estradiol (E2) as triple templates, acrylic acid (AA) as functional monomer and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as cross-linker. The resulting tri-MMIPs were further characterized and applied as sorbents in human serum pretreatment.

Effective bacterial detection is crucial for health diagnostics, particularly for the detection of pathogenic species like Escherichia coli (E. coli), which is responsible for up to 90% of urinary tract infections (UTIs), is especially crucial. Current detection methods are time-consuming, often delaying diagnosis and treatment.

Arsenite is a hazardous substance in water due to its high toxicity and carcinogenic nature, necessitating effective analysis and remediation methods. This study introduces surface arsenite molecularly imprinted polymers (As(Ⅲ)-MIP@MOF) and an advanced sensing platform using arsenite (H₃AsO₃) as the template. By utilizing computational simulations to optimize the functional monomer MAA and the pre-polymerization ratio, we achieved efficient arsenite removal with high adsorption capacity (328.

Surface-imprinted polymers (ZIF-67@MIPs) supported by ZIF-67 were prepared by precipitation polymerization using enrofloxacin (ENR) as the template molecule, methacrylic acid as the functional monomer, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker. ZIF-67@MIPs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and particle size distribution. The adsorption performance of the polymer was studied.
