Role of Functional Monomers upon the Properties of Bisphenol A Molecularly Imprinted Silica Films
In this study, two types of bisphenol A molecularly imprinted films (BPA-MIP) were successfully prepared via sol-gel derived methods using two different organosilane functional monomers N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (DAMO-T) or (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTES).

| description | In this study, two types of bisphenol A molecularly imprinted films (BPA-MIP) were successfully prepared via sol-gel derived methods using two different organosilane functional monomers N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (DAMO-T) or (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTES). The physical-chemical characterization of films, in terms of morphology, structure, thermal analysis, and optical features, suggested that thinner films with a homogenous porous structure were more likely to retain BPA molecules. The MIP films revealed the rapid and quantitative adsorption of BPA, registering the most specific binding in the first five minutes of contact with the BPA-MIP film. Silica films were effectively regenerated for further usage for at least five times, demonstrating their high stability and reusability. Even if the performance of films for BPA uptake dropped dramatically after the third adsorption/reconditioning cycle, this synthesis method for BPA-MIP films has proven to be a reliable and cheap way to prepare sensitive films with potential application for re-usable optical sensors. |
