We propose molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as valid tools for the selective removal from water of these drugs. MIPs are synthesized by copolymerization of cross-linking and function-al monomers in the presence of a target analyte, which acts as a molecular template. Following the polymerization, the template is removed to leave cavities with selectivity for the analyte, allowing the polymer to rebind the analyte with a very high specificity.

Abstract

We propose molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as valid tools for the selective removal from water of these drugs. MIPs are synthesized by copolymerization of cross-linking and function-al monomers in the presence of a target analyte, which acts as a molecular template. Following the polymerization, the template is removed to leave cavities with selectivity for the analyte, allowing the polymer to rebind the analyte with a very high specificity.
