Funded Activity Summary

Selective Adsorption throught Molecular Imprinting in Nanoporous Silica. A novel synthesis method, molecular imprinting (MI) combined with a templating technique, will be used to prepare mesoporous silica materials with specific molecular recognition sites. The surface morphology of the materials can be duplicated at a molecular level known as molecular imprinting. The imprinting of metal ions, organic and enantiomeric molecules and the subsequent interactions with the template will be studied. The molecular recognition properties of imprinted materials will be evaluated by selective adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of Hg2+/Pd2+, D-glucose and (-)-borneol/(+)-fenchol respectively. The novelty of the research is in combining the template synthesis of nanoporous silicates with the technique of MI.
