A Self-Organisation Synthesis Approach for Bacteria Molecularly Imprinted Polymers. (2016) - Schnettelker, Annette
Abstract: Herein we present an approach to synthesize molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) for E. coli in situ on a suitable transducer surface. During developing this process, it turned out that oligomer concentration of the polymerizing solution is the most decisive factor to control layer height of the final layer. For layers being 150-200 nm high, a concentration of 2 (w/V)% polyurethane in MeCN turned out suitable. We could show that layers generated with this approach on QCM show a 5.8-fold selectivity of E.coli compared to B. cereus .
