Abstract

A novel kind of three-dimensional ordered macroporous molecular imprinted polymer (3DOM MIP) was prepared and studied. Monodisperse silica microspheres were used to form silica crystal template via simple centrifuge. In the presence of template molecule, acrylamide and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate were co-polymerized in the interstices of crystal template bisphenol A (BPA). Hydrofluoric acid were employed to etch silica crystal and the mixed solvent of methanol with acetic acid were employed to extract template molecule. The results of SEM and FTIR confirmed the successful synthesis of 3DOM MIP. The obtained 3DOM MIP exhibited a rapid adsorption kinetics and a specific adsorption capacities toward template molecule because of the small size of MIP wall, which possessed much more effective imprinted cavies. Meanwhile, 3DOM MIP could selective recognized BPA from its structural analogues.
