Synthesis and characterization of molecularly imprinted polymer for removal of 2,4-dinitrophenol

In this work, molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared by bulk polymerization method in acetonitrile using 2,4-dinitrophenol, acrylamide,ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and benzoyl peroxide as template, functional monomer, cross-linker and initiator, respectively. The functional monomer and...
