Synthesis and Chracterization of Molecular Imprinted Nanostructured Polymeric Resins Based on Reverse Micellar Template

초록

Molecular imprinted, nanostructured polymer resins were synthesized by using reverse micellar templates of amphiphilic block copolymers in hydrophobic reaction media. Triblock copolymers poly(alkylene oxide)s as structure-directing templates were dissolved in the mixture of styrene and divinylbenzene, and then polymerized by UV radiation. A long-range ordered, nanoscopic ordering of imprinted block copolymers in the thermoset polymeric resins was similar to that of the block polymer micelles in styrene and divinylbenzene mixtures. Small angle neutron (SANS) and X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques were employed to investigate the phase structures of the molecular Imprinted nanostructured polymer resins and the block copolymer micellar solutions at various water/polymer molar ratios.
