Abstract

An acifluorfen-imprinted polymer (P1) was prepared by the combined use of bismethacryloyl- β-cyclodextrin (BMA-β-CD) and 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) as functional monomers. Compared with the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) using only BMA-β-CD or 4-VP as a functional monomer, P2 and P3, respectively, P1 showed higher binding capacity (Cp) and imprinting factor (IF) for acifluorfen in aqueous media. Scatchard plot analysis revealed that two ...
