Synthesis, characterization, and application of molecular imprinting polymer for extraction of melamine from spiked milk, water, and blood serum

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) of melamine (MEL) were synthesized by non-covalent approach with precipitation polymerization. In this research, MEL was used as the template molecule, acrylamide (AAm) as the functional monomer, divinylbenzene (DVB) as the cross-linker, 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator, and the mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and acetonitrile (ACN) was used as a reaction medium. The imprinted and...
