A new functional monomer with diol groups was synthesized and applied to fabricate surface molecular imprinting polymers (SMIPs) microspheres for selective adsorption of elastase.
Apart from being a vital catecholamine molecule responsible for the proper functioning of the central nervous system (CNS), hormonal and renal systems, dopamine (DA) has also been increasingly employed as a functional monomer in the fabrication of surface molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) for valuable analytes.
