Preparation and adsorption performance of molecularly imprinted polymers for Kaempferol

Molecularly imprinting polymers (MIPs) are a class of highly cross-linked polymer with specific binding sites for a target molecule. In this study MIPs were prepared by precipitation polymerization, using kaempferol as the template molecule, methacrylic acid as the functional monomer, azodiisobutyronitrile as the initiator, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross-linker in acetonitrile solvent. The synthesized kaempferol-MIP and...
