Abstract High levels of urea and creatinine in the blood are a sign of decreased kidney function. To remove these substances from the blood, hemodialysis which utilizes membranes could be used. In this study, a molecularly imprinted membrane (MIM) was synthesized for the selective transport of urea. The synthesis is initiated with the polymerization of eugenol into polyeugenol and then into polyeugenoxy acetate (PA). The PA is then contacted with urea and then used as the functional polymer in the synthesis of MIM with polysulfone as the membrane base, and polyethylene glycol as the cross-linking agent. The result was later analyzed with FTIR and SEM-EDX. The membrane is then used in the transport of urea, creatinine, and vitamin B12 and then compared with the non-imprinted membrane (NIM) performance. By using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, the results showed that the membrane with 10 h heating variation is able to transport more urea and is more selective than NIM; this proves that the urea template on the MIM enables it to recognize urea molecules better than creatinine and vitamin B12. The order of transport from the best results is urea > creatinine > vitamin B12.

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) of L-phenylalanine ethyl ester were synthesized in this study. Then, the prepared MIPs were packed in a stainless column and evaluated as the chiral stationary phases of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The MIPs exhibited a considerable capability of chiral separation between template molecule and its enantiomer with the separation factor of 1.69. Furthermore, the weakest interaction model was introduced to study the chiral recognition mechanism of MIPs. The results suggested that the weakest interaction between the template molecule and the imprinted cavity played crucial role in chiral separation, and the molecular tension should be taken into consideration during the separation procedure. The separation factor of 2.07 was calculated by the theoretical model, which was very close to the value obtained from chromatographic experiment.
