Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have specific molecular recognition sites for chemical detection.High affinity receptors can increase the sensitivity of sensors/devices. The synthesis of micro- or nanosized MIP's particles is desirable to improve the sensitivity since MIP's particle sizes are inversely proportional to the affinity between receptors and template molecules. To synthesize nano- or microsized MIPs particles, we demonstrate here a novel microfluidic approach, which presents continuous and uniform MIP's particle generation.
Highlights
Nanotechnology has enabled the fabrication of more compact and smaller devices to meet our diverse demands in miniaturization
Synthesis of new materials for nanoimprinting lithography, soft lithography, microfluidic technique, and plastic electronics is of interest for chemists to expand the scope of current nanotechnology to advanced levels [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]
We present a microfluidic synthesis of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)
Summary
Imprinted polymers (MIPs) have specific molecular recognition sites for chemical detection.High affinity receptors can increase the sensitivity of sensors/devices. The synthesis of micro- or nanosized MIP’s particles is desirable to improve the sensitivity since MIP’s particle sizes are inversely proportional to the affinity between receptors and template molecules.
