: Core-shell polymers represent a class of composite particles comprising of minimum two dissimilar constituents, one at the center known as a core which is occupied by the other called shell. Core-shell molecularly imprinting polymers (CSMIPs) are composites prepared via printing a template molecule (analyte) in the coreshell assembly followed by their elimination to provide the everlasting cavities specific to the template molecules. Various other types of CSMIPs with a partial shell, hollow-core and empty-shell are also prepared. Numerous methods have been reported for synthesizing the CSMIPs. CSMIPs composites could develop the ability to identify template molecules, increase the relative adsorption selectivity and offer higher adsorption capacity. Keen features are measured that permits these polymers to be utilized in numerous applications. It has been developed as a modern technique with the probability for an extensive range of uses in selective adsorption, biomedical fields, food processing, environmental applications, in utilizing the plant's extracts for further applications, and sensors. This review covers the approaches of developing the CSMIPs synthetic schemes, and their application with special emphasis on uses in the biomedical field, food care subjects, plant extracts analysis and in environmental studies.

Solvent Free Synthesis

Functionalized graphene was efficiently prepared through ball-milling of graphite in the presence of dry ice. In this way, oxygen functional groups were introduced into material. The material was further chemically functionalized to produce graphene derivative with phosphonic groups. The obtained materials were characterized by spectroscopic and microscopic methods, along with thermogravimetric analysis. The newly developed material was used as an efficient mercury adsorbent, showing high adsorption efficiency. The adsorption isotherms were fitted using Freundlich and Langmuir models. The adsorption kinetics were fitted with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order models. Adsorption selectivity was determined in the presence of cadmium ions and nickel ions. The presence of mentioned bivalent ions in the solution did not affect mercury adsorption efficiency.

Hydrogel beads based on the husk of agarwood fruit (HAF)/sodium alginate (SA), and based on the HAF/chitosan (CS) were developed for the removal of the dyes, crystal violet (CV) and reactive blue 4 (RB4), in aqueous solutions, respectively. The effects of the initial pH (2–10) of the dye solution, the adsorbent dosage (0.5–3.5 g/L), and contact time (0–540 min) were investigated in a batch system. The dynamic adsorption behavior of CV and RB4 can be represented well by the pseudo-second-order model and pseudo-first-order model, respectively. In addition, the adsorption isotherm data can be explained by the Langmuir isotherm model. Both hydrogel beads have acceptable adsorption selectivity and reusability for the study of selective adsorption and regeneration. Based on the effectiveness, selectivity, and reusability of these hydrogel beads, they can be treated as potential adsorbents for the removal of dyes in aqueous solutions.

Exchange Properties

Inorganic sorbents, in comparison with ordinary organic ion exchangers, have higher selectivity, radiation, thermal, and chemical stability. Inorganic ion exchangers are universal materials exhibiting both cation exchange and anion exchange properties. In this work, using aluminum hydroxide (AHO) as an example, we study the possibility of expanding the range of metal oxyhydrates that can serve as the basis to produce inorganic anion-exchange materials. The properties of aluminum hydroxide largely depend on the method of its production. This phenomenon is associated with a different state of Al3+ ions in aqueous solutions during hydrolysis. Estimation of the size of the primary particles of hydrated alumina gives a value of 19 nm. The most potent effect on the structure and ion-exchange properties of aluminum hydroxide is exerted by the introduction of alloying elements into its composition. Isomorphic substitution of a part of Al(III) ions in the structure of aluminum hydroxide with ions with a higher charge (Ti(IV), Zr(IV), or W(VI)) leads to an increase in the content of exchangeable OH-groups in the resulting material. The synthesized materials are amorphous substances, to study their structure; the method of diffuse X-ray scattering was used. The Gibbsite structural motif is determined, and structural changes occurring under the influence of various factors, and synthesis conditions are analyzed. By optimizing the composition of the material, it is possible to improve its sorption characteristics significantly. AAW-0, AAZ-0, and AAT-0 anion exchangers synthesized based on hydrated aluminum oxide can be used to purify weakly acidic electrolyte solutions from anionic impurities in the dynamic mode of repeated sorptiondesorption cycles. Materials based on mixed hydrated oxides of various elements can also be used as catalyst supports. Their anion exchange properties allow a wide range to vary the number of different anions introduced into the solid phase and, accordingly, to regulate the number and state of active catalytic sites.
