To enhance the performance of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), three new cross- linking monomers were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as matrix elements for molecularly imprinted polymers. Hybrid cross-linking monomers incorporating methacrylamide/methacrylate (NOBE), vinyl ketone/methacrylamide (NAG), and vinyl ketone/methacrylate (MVK) polymerizable groups, were synthesized and used to prepare ...
