Recyclable nanoparticles based on a boronic acid–diol complex for the real-time monitoring of imprinting, molecular recognition and copper ion detection

Abstract

A simple, sensitive, and straightforward method is developed to study the process of molecular imprinting via real-time fluorescence measurements. The imprinted polymer can be used to remove ARS from water, and as a fluorescent probe to detect Cu2+.

“…57d), which was utilized for the detection of Cu 2+ in water. 300 The fluorescent sensors constructed by selecting the corresponding analytes as templates in the above-mentioned studies have high detection specificity. There are also studies in which the molecularly imprinted polymers have been used to prepare test paper/membrane chromatography strip-type sensors, which can be easily used for analyzing and detecting samples in the field.…”

Imprinting of nanoparticles in thin films: Quo Vadis?

“…The motivation to imprint the above mentioned biological entities or NPs has been primarily for the development of a lowcost and fast platform for different applications such as separation, sensing, etc [64][65][66][67][68] . However, the urge for imprinting with higher dimensions poses difficulties in the extraction and rebinding steps, as a result of the relatively lower diffusion of the large object as compared with molecules.…”

Amplification of Molecular Recognition Signal on Imprinted Polymers Using Hybridization Chain Reaction

“…34 After the molecular template is removed, imprinted cavities are left in the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP), which can selectively recognize and rebind the molecular template and its structural analogues. 35 MIP is less expensive and can withstand harsher environmental conditions than antibodies and aptamers. 36 For these unique features and predictable molecular selectivity, 37,38 MIP has received widespread acceptance and played an important role in analytical sciences, for example, being used in sample pretreatment, as chromatographic packing materials 39 and molecular recognition components in chemo/biosensing.…”
