1 Introduction

Enrofloxacin (ENR) is an antibiotic belonging to the fluoro-quinolone class (FQs) of synthetic antibiotics The physico-chemical properties and broad spectrum of activity of FQsantibiotics against most bacteria have led to their widespreaduse in human medicine as well as the prevention andtreatment of animal diseases in livestock [1ndash3] Howevertrace amounts of these drugs can be detected in food productstaken from animals treated with FQs antibiotics posing athreat to human health (such as toxicity drug resistance andanaphylaxis) [4] In fact many countries have establisheda maximum limit of FQs residues in food Additionallythe environmental impact of FQs residues has recentlyattracted worldwide attention Therefore sensitive and selec-tive method for the detection and quantification of FQs is animportant area of research The currently available methods

for the detection of FQs in different environments consist ofhigh performance liquid chromatography [5] coupled tomassspectrometry [6 7] ultraviolet (UV) [8] and fluorescencedetection[9 10] However the complex matrices of biologicalsamples present challenges for the selective quantification oftrace amounts of FQs in food products

Molecularly imprinted technology (MIT) [11ndash13] is amethod that can be used to develop polymers for the selectiveidentification of a particular molecular target or a classof molecules [14] To prepare the polymer a functionalmonomer is constructed with binding sites matching theshape size and functional groups of a template moleculeThe functional monomers are then copolymerized and cross-linked in the presence of the template molecule to create apolymer network capable of molecular recognition Subse-quent removal of the template molecules from the polymernetwork facilitates the selective binding and recognition of

the template molecule or structural analogs in a samplemixture [15] MIPs are attractive materials for molecularrecognition due to their low cost simple preparation highstability and good reproducibility under harsh chemical andphysical conditions Consequently MIT has been widelyused in extraction separation [16 17] chemical sensing[18] catalysis [19] and chiral separations [20ndash22] Surfacemolecular imprinting distributes almost all binding sites ona surface with good accessibility by taking some measureswhich facilitates the removal and recombination of templatemolecules This method is therefore particularly suitablefor the preparation of imprinted polymers of biomacro-molecules The distribution of binding sites across the poly-mer surface shortens the adsorption equilibrium time byovercoming the traditional embedding phenomenon [23 24]

The preparation of MIPs using ENR as a templatemolecule has been recently explored in the literature theresulting MIPs would have important implications for theselective detection of ENR in complex matrices Xiao et al[25] prepared FQs imprinted polymers on the surface ofmag-netic carbon nanotubes and simultaneously used a pseudotemplate to achieve fluoroquinolone extraction Additionallywork by He et al [26] firstly attempted to prepare an ENRimprinted material using the magnetic polyhedral oligomericsemi-siloxane composite as a matrix In a similar vein Yan etal [27] thermally initiated polymerization of the monolithiccolumn and use norfloxacin as a pseudo template for ENRthe resulting material demonstrated a high affinity for ENRand norfloxacin in water and successfully afforded the extrac-tion of ENR and norfloxacin from blood samples Despitethese great advancements in the development of MIPs thepreparation of monodisperse ENR imprinted polymers bysurface grafting and the application of the resultant polymersto a real sample analysis have yet to be reported

to the microsphere characteristic -CH stretching vibrationsare noted at 2955 cmminus1 and an -OH stretching vibration isnoted at 2955 cmminus1 as a broad absorption peak The prepa-ration of PGMA-EDMAMPS depends on the reaction of thesilanylated reagent MPS with hydroxyl groups of the micro-sphere surface the observed decrease in the intensity of thecharacteristic -OH peak at 3525 cmminus1 in PGMA-EDMAMPSrelative to the precursor microspheres is attributed to thepartial consumption of the surface -OH functional groupsThe spectra of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs show an increase inintensity of a peak around 1093 cmminus1 corresponding to -C-O-C stretching vibrations in the EGDE cross-linker Moreoverthe absorption peak at 3525 cmminus1 is enhanced due to thereaction of the carboxyl groups of PGMA-EDMAMIPswith theepoxy groups on the cross-linker molecules which generatesadditional free hydroxyl groups

PGMA-EDMAMIPs and PGMA-EDMANIPs could not only becompletely attributed to the difference in morphology butalso be related to the imprinting process that producedspecific recognition sites Larger pore volume and averagepore size provide complementary spatial structures for selec-tive recognition of template molecules and competitors withPGMA-EDMAMIPs

The adsorption isotherm of ENR in the range of 0125-225 mM was obtained by static equilibrium adsorption Theabsorption curves showed in Figure 7 show that the adsorp-tion of PGMA-EDMAMIPs gradually increased with increasesin ENR concentration while rapid saturation was observedin the adsorption by PGMA-EDMANIPs Adsorption by thePGMA-EDMAMIPs was significantly greater than that ofPGMA-EDMANIPs at a given concentration The low adsorp-tion capacity of the PGMA-EDMANIPs was attributed to theweak interactions that form between the PGMA-EDMANIPsand substrate substrate binding interactions were derivedfrom the nonspecific adsorption of the polar groups on thePGMA-EDMANIPs surface to ENR In addition to nonspe-cific adsorption interactions PGMA-EDMAMIPs also con-tained holes matching the spatial structure and comple-menting the functional groups of ENR The holes in the

the template molecule or structural analogs in a samplemixture [15] MIPs are attractive materials for molecularrecognition due to their low cost simple preparation highstability and good reproducibility under harsh chemical andphysical conditions Consequently MIT has been widelyused in extraction separation [16 17] chemical sensing[18] catalysis [19] and chiral separations [20ndash22] Surfacemolecular imprinting distributes almost all binding sites ona surface with good accessibility by taking some measureswhich facilitates the removal and recombination of templatemolecules This method is therefore particularly suitablefor the preparation of imprinted polymers of biomacro-molecules The distribution of binding sites across the poly-mer surface shortens the adsorption equilibrium time byovercoming the traditional embedding phenomenon [23 24]

The preparation of MIPs using ENR as a templatemolecule has been recently explored in the literature theresulting MIPs would have important implications for theselective detection of ENR in complex matrices Xiao et al[25] prepared FQs imprinted polymers on the surface ofmag-netic carbon nanotubes and simultaneously used a pseudotemplate to achieve fluoroquinolone extraction Additionallywork by He et al [26] firstly attempted to prepare an ENRimprinted material using the magnetic polyhedral oligomericsemi-siloxane composite as a matrix In a similar vein Yan etal [27] thermally initiated polymerization of the monolithiccolumn and use norfloxacin as a pseudo template for ENRthe resulting material demonstrated a high affinity for ENRand norfloxacin in water and successfully afforded the extrac-tion of ENR and norfloxacin from blood samples Despitethese great advancements in the development of MIPs thepreparation of monodisperse ENR imprinted polymers bysurface grafting and the application of the resultant polymersto a real sample analysis have yet to be reported

32 Characterization of Enrofloxacin-Imprinted 119875119866119872119860-119864119863119872119860MIPs FT-IR analysis of PGMA-EDMAMIPs and the precur-sormaterials is shown in Figure 3Thehydrolyzed PGMA-EDMAmicrospheres exhibit a strong absorption peak at 1727 cmminus1corresponding to the stretching vibration of carbonyl grafted

to the microsphere characteristic -CH stretching vibrationsare noted at 2955 cmminus1 and an -OH stretching vibration isnoted at 2955 cmminus1 as a broad absorption peak The prepa-ration of PGMA-EDMAMPS depends on the reaction of thesilanylated reagent MPS with hydroxyl groups of the micro-sphere surface the observed decrease in the intensity of thecharacteristic -OH peak at 3525 cmminus1 in PGMA-EDMAMPSrelative to the precursor microspheres is attributed to thepartial consumption of the surface -OH functional groupsThe spectra of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs show an increase inintensity of a peak around 1093 cmminus1 corresponding to -C-O-C stretching vibrations in the EGDE cross-linker Moreoverthe absorption peak at 3525 cmminus1 is enhanced due to thereaction of the carboxyl groups of PGMA-EDMAMIPswith theepoxy groups on the cross-linker molecules which generatesadditional free hydroxyl groups

The SEManalysis of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs and precursorPGMA-EDMA microspheres are depicted in Figure 4 The leftimage in Figure 4 is an SEM image of the PGMA-EDMA micro-spheres the surface of PGMA-EDMA microsphere is dividedinto uniform pores formed during the one-step seed swellingand polymerization process used for microsphere prepara-tion A comparison of the SEM image of the PGMA-EDMAmicrospheres with that of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs prepared bysurface modification (Figure 4 right) reveals the presence ofregular gaps in the surface of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs createdupon removal of the template molecule The particle size ofPGMA-EDMAMIPs is about 5 120583m and its surface is porous

The PGMA-EDMA microspheres and PGMA-EDMAMPS andPGMA-EDMAMIPs microspheres were characterized by ele-mental analysis The results of these measurements arelisted in Table 1 The elemental analysis reveals an increasein carbon content of PGMA-EDMAMPS to the startingmaterial PGMA-EDMA indicating a successful grafting ofMPS to the surface of the microspheres The data for thePGMA-EDMAMIPs indicates an increase in both nitrogenand carbon composition This increase in NC content isconsistent with the successful grafting of the cross-linkingagent EGDE to the surface of the microspheres

Table 2 shows the specific surface area pore volumeand average pore size of PGMA-EDMA PGMA-EDMAMIPsand PGMA-EDMANIPs from nitrogen adsorption-desorptionanalysis As can be seen from (Table 2) the specific surfacearea of PGMA-EDMAMIPs decreases markedly with respect toPGMA-EDMA which is due to the fact that PGMA-EDMAMIPsis based on PGMA-EDMA to prepare imprinted polymerPGMA-EDMAMIPs have larger specific surface area porevolume and average pore size than PGMA-EDMANIPs Theresults showed that the different adsorption properties of

PGMA-EDMAMIPs and PGMA-EDMANIPs could not only becompletely attributed to the difference in morphology butalso be related to the imprinting process that producedspecific recognition sites Larger pore volume and averagepore size provide complementary spatial structures for selec-tive recognition of template molecules and competitors withPGMA-EDMAMIPs

where Q and Qmax are the experimental adsorption capacityto the template ENR(mgg) and the theoretical maximumadsorption capacity of the polymer (mgg) respectively Ce isthe concentration of ENR in equilibrium in solution (mgL)after adsorption and Kd is the dissociation constant (mgL)

The Scatchard model was implemented on the adsorptionisotherm data of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs and PGMA-EDMANIPs and the Scatchard figure created by plotting Q againstQCe (Figure 5) The Scatchard analysis curve of thePGMA-EDMAMIPs consists of two lines with different slopeswhile the Scatchard analysis curve of the PGMA-EDMANIPsis in a straight line suggesting the fact that while thePGMA-EDMANIPs only has a single binding site for ENRPGMA-EDMAMIPs exhibits two distinct binding sites One ofthe binding sites of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs is a nonspecific

adsorption site similar to that in PGMA-EDMANIPs formed byhydrophobic hydrogen bonds and physical adsorption whilethe other is the high affinity specific recognition site createdby the imprinted hole The additional binding site of thePGMA-EDMAMIPs is responsible for the higher adsorptioncapacity and better selectivity of this system relative to thePGMA-EDMANIPs

The values of Kd and Qmax are calculated from the slopeand intercept of the linear segments in the Scatchard plotsrespectively The parameters defining PGMA-EDMAMIPswere obtained from the slope and intercept of Scatchardcurve and the results are shown in (Table 3)TheKd andQmaxvalues were similarly calculated for the PGMA-EDMANIPs tobe 226160 mgL and 5500 mgg respectively

Plots of the adsorption kinetics of the PGMA-EDMAMIPsin 2 mM solution of ENR are shown in Figure 6 A rapidadsorption of ENR by the PGMA-EDMAMIPs up to 905of the adsorption equilibrium is noted within the first5 min after which a significant decrease in the adsorp-tion rate occurs The adsorption equilibrium reached at6 min Conversely adsorption by the PGMA-EDMANIPswas slow within the first 3 min where the driving forceof adsorption has non-covalent interactions between ENR

and PGMA-EDMANIPs The enhanced binding of ENR byPGMA-EDMAMIPs is dependent on the interaction betweenENR and the imprinted holes of the PGMA-EDMAMIPsgenerated on the surface of microspheres during preparationFrom the kinetic data it is noted that the specific adsorptionby PGMA-EDMAMIPs occurs largely in the initial stage ofadsorption

The adsorption isotherm of ENR in the range of 0125-225 mM was obtained by static equilibrium adsorption Theabsorption curves showed in Figure 7 show that the adsorp-tion of PGMA-EDMAMIPs gradually increased with increasesin ENR concentration while rapid saturation was observedin the adsorption by PGMA-EDMANIPs Adsorption by thePGMA-EDMAMIPs was significantly greater than that ofPGMA-EDMANIPs at a given concentration The low adsorp-tion capacity of the PGMA-EDMANIPs was attributed to theweak interactions that form between the PGMA-EDMANIPsand substrate substrate binding interactions were derivedfrom the nonspecific adsorption of the polar groups on thePGMA-EDMANIPs surface to ENR In addition to nonspe-cific adsorption interactions PGMA-EDMAMIPs also con-tained holes matching the spatial structure and comple-menting the functional groups of ENR The holes in the

31 Preparation of Enrofloxacin-Imprinted119875119866119872119860-119864119863119872119860MIPsTo introduce polymerizable double bonds to the surfaceof the PGMA-EDMA microspheres for facile preparation ofthe PGMA-EDMAMIPs the microsphere surface was modi-fied with coupling agent MPS Polymerization was initiatedto graft the functional monomer MAA to the surface ofmicrospheres and the resultant PGMA-EDMAMPSMAAmicrospheres were saturated to adsorb ENR By addingthe cross-linker EGDE to the microspheres under alka-line conditions a ring-opening reaction between the epoxygroup on the cross-linking agent and the carboxyl groupon the PGMA-EDMAMPSMAA macromolecule forms anetwork which encapsulated the ENRmolecule and therebygained ENR molecularly imprinted polymer The ENRwas then extracted from the PGMA-EDMAMIPs using amethanolacetic acid (91 vv) mixture creating holes inthe thin layer of the polymer well matched for the sizeand intermolecular interactions required for ENR bindingThe preparation of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs is summarized inFigure 2

32 Characterization of Enrofloxacin-Imprinted 119875119866119872119860-119864119863119872119860MIPs FT-IR analysis of PGMA-EDMAMIPs and the precur-sormaterials is shown in Figure 3Thehydrolyzed PGMA-EDMAmicrospheres exhibit a strong absorption peak at 1727 cmminus1corresponding to the stretching vibration of carbonyl grafted

to the microsphere characteristic -CH stretching vibrationsare noted at 2955 cmminus1 and an -OH stretching vibration isnoted at 2955 cmminus1 as a broad absorption peak The prepa-ration of PGMA-EDMAMPS depends on the reaction of thesilanylated reagent MPS with hydroxyl groups of the micro-sphere surface the observed decrease in the intensity of thecharacteristic -OH peak at 3525 cmminus1 in PGMA-EDMAMPSrelative to the precursor microspheres is attributed to thepartial consumption of the surface -OH functional groupsThe spectra of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs show an increase inintensity of a peak around 1093 cmminus1 corresponding to -C-O-C stretching vibrations in the EGDE cross-linker Moreoverthe absorption peak at 3525 cmminus1 is enhanced due to thereaction of the carboxyl groups of PGMA-EDMAMIPswith theepoxy groups on the cross-linker molecules which generatesadditional free hydroxyl groups

The SEManalysis of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs and precursorPGMA-EDMA microspheres are depicted in Figure 4 The leftimage in Figure 4 is an SEM image of the PGMA-EDMA micro-spheres the surface of PGMA-EDMA microsphere is dividedinto uniform pores formed during the one-step seed swellingand polymerization process used for microsphere prepara-tion A comparison of the SEM image of the PGMA-EDMAmicrospheres with that of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs prepared bysurface modification (Figure 4 right) reveals the presence ofregular gaps in the surface of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs createdupon removal of the template molecule The particle size ofPGMA-EDMAMIPs is about 5 120583m and its surface is porous

The PGMA-EDMA microspheres and PGMA-EDMAMPS andPGMA-EDMAMIPs microspheres were characterized by ele-mental analysis The results of these measurements arelisted in Table 1 The elemental analysis reveals an increasein carbon content of PGMA-EDMAMPS to the startingmaterial PGMA-EDMA indicating a successful grafting ofMPS to the surface of the microspheres The data for thePGMA-EDMAMIPs indicates an increase in both nitrogenand carbon composition This increase in NC content isconsistent with the successful grafting of the cross-linkingagent EGDE to the surface of the microspheres

Table 2 shows the specific surface area pore volumeand average pore size of PGMA-EDMA PGMA-EDMAMIPsand PGMA-EDMANIPs from nitrogen adsorption-desorptionanalysis As can be seen from (Table 2) the specific surfacearea of PGMA-EDMAMIPs decreases markedly with respect toPGMA-EDMA which is due to the fact that PGMA-EDMAMIPsis based on PGMA-EDMA to prepare imprinted polymerPGMA-EDMAMIPs have larger specific surface area porevolume and average pore size than PGMA-EDMANIPs Theresults showed that the different adsorption properties of

PGMA-EDMAMIPs and PGMA-EDMANIPs could not only becompletely attributed to the difference in morphology butalso be related to the imprinting process that producedspecific recognition sites Larger pore volume and averagepore size provide complementary spatial structures for selec-tive recognition of template molecules and competitors withPGMA-EDMAMIPs

where Q and Qmax are the experimental adsorption capacityto the template ENR(mgg) and the theoretical maximumadsorption capacity of the polymer (mgg) respectively Ce isthe concentration of ENR in equilibrium in solution (mgL)after adsorption and Kd is the dissociation constant (mgL)

The Scatchard model was implemented on the adsorptionisotherm data of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs and PGMA-EDMANIPs and the Scatchard figure created by plotting Q againstQCe (Figure 5) The Scatchard analysis curve of thePGMA-EDMAMIPs consists of two lines with different slopeswhile the Scatchard analysis curve of the PGMA-EDMANIPsis in a straight line suggesting the fact that while thePGMA-EDMANIPs only has a single binding site for ENRPGMA-EDMAMIPs exhibits two distinct binding sites One ofthe binding sites of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs is a nonspecific

adsorption site similar to that in PGMA-EDMANIPs formed byhydrophobic hydrogen bonds and physical adsorption whilethe other is the high affinity specific recognition site createdby the imprinted hole The additional binding site of thePGMA-EDMAMIPs is responsible for the higher adsorptioncapacity and better selectivity of this system relative to thePGMA-EDMANIPs

The values of Kd and Qmax are calculated from the slopeand intercept of the linear segments in the Scatchard plotsrespectively The parameters defining PGMA-EDMAMIPswere obtained from the slope and intercept of Scatchardcurve and the results are shown in (Table 3)TheKd andQmaxvalues were similarly calculated for the PGMA-EDMANIPs tobe 226160 mgL and 5500 mgg respectively

Plots of the adsorption kinetics of the PGMA-EDMAMIPsin 2 mM solution of ENR are shown in Figure 6 A rapidadsorption of ENR by the PGMA-EDMAMIPs up to 905of the adsorption equilibrium is noted within the first5 min after which a significant decrease in the adsorp-tion rate occurs The adsorption equilibrium reached at6 min Conversely adsorption by the PGMA-EDMANIPswas slow within the first 3 min where the driving forceof adsorption has non-covalent interactions between ENR

and PGMA-EDMANIPs The enhanced binding of ENR byPGMA-EDMAMIPs is dependent on the interaction betweenENR and the imprinted holes of the PGMA-EDMAMIPsgenerated on the surface of microspheres during preparationFrom the kinetic data it is noted that the specific adsorptionby PGMA-EDMAMIPs occurs largely in the initial stage ofadsorption

The adsorption isotherm of ENR in the range of 0125-225 mM was obtained by static equilibrium adsorption Theabsorption curves showed in Figure 7 show that the adsorp-tion of PGMA-EDMAMIPs gradually increased with increasesin ENR concentration while rapid saturation was observedin the adsorption by PGMA-EDMANIPs Adsorption by thePGMA-EDMAMIPs was significantly greater than that ofPGMA-EDMANIPs at a given concentration The low adsorp-tion capacity of the PGMA-EDMANIPs was attributed to theweak interactions that form between the PGMA-EDMANIPsand substrate substrate binding interactions were derivedfrom the nonspecific adsorption of the polar groups on thePGMA-EDMANIPs surface to ENR In addition to nonspe-cific adsorption interactions PGMA-EDMAMIPs also con-tained holes matching the spatial structure and comple-menting the functional groups of ENR The holes in the

31 Preparation of Enrofloxacin-Imprinted119875119866119872119860-119864119863119872119860MIPsTo introduce polymerizable double bonds to the surfaceof the PGMA-EDMA microspheres for facile preparation ofthe PGMA-EDMAMIPs the microsphere surface was modi-fied with coupling agent MPS Polymerization was initiatedto graft the functional monomer MAA to the surface ofmicrospheres and the resultant PGMA-EDMAMPSMAAmicrospheres were saturated to adsorb ENR By addingthe cross-linker EGDE to the microspheres under alka-line conditions a ring-opening reaction between the epoxygroup on the cross-linking agent and the carboxyl groupon the PGMA-EDMAMPSMAA macromolecule forms anetwork which encapsulated the ENRmolecule and therebygained ENR molecularly imprinted polymer The ENRwas then extracted from the PGMA-EDMAMIPs using amethanolacetic acid (91 vv) mixture creating holes inthe thin layer of the polymer well matched for the sizeand intermolecular interactions required for ENR bindingThe preparation of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs is summarized inFigure 2

32 Characterization of Enrofloxacin-Imprinted 119875119866119872119860-119864119863119872119860MIPs FT-IR analysis of PGMA-EDMAMIPs and the precur-sormaterials is shown in Figure 3Thehydrolyzed PGMA-EDMAmicrospheres exhibit a strong absorption peak at 1727 cmminus1corresponding to the stretching vibration of carbonyl grafted

to the microsphere characteristic -CH stretching vibrationsare noted at 2955 cmminus1 and an -OH stretching vibration isnoted at 2955 cmminus1 as a broad absorption peak The prepa-ration of PGMA-EDMAMPS depends on the reaction of thesilanylated reagent MPS with hydroxyl groups of the micro-sphere surface the observed decrease in the intensity of thecharacteristic -OH peak at 3525 cmminus1 in PGMA-EDMAMPSrelative to the precursor microspheres is attributed to thepartial consumption of the surface -OH functional groupsThe spectra of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs show an increase inintensity of a peak around 1093 cmminus1 corresponding to -C-O-C stretching vibrations in the EGDE cross-linker Moreoverthe absorption peak at 3525 cmminus1 is enhanced due to thereaction of the carboxyl groups of PGMA-EDMAMIPswith theepoxy groups on the cross-linker molecules which generatesadditional free hydroxyl groups

The SEManalysis of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs and precursorPGMA-EDMA microspheres are depicted in Figure 4 The leftimage in Figure 4 is an SEM image of the PGMA-EDMA micro-spheres the surface of PGMA-EDMA microsphere is dividedinto uniform pores formed during the one-step seed swellingand polymerization process used for microsphere prepara-tion A comparison of the SEM image of the PGMA-EDMAmicrospheres with that of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs prepared bysurface modification (Figure 4 right) reveals the presence ofregular gaps in the surface of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs createdupon removal of the template molecule The particle size ofPGMA-EDMAMIPs is about 5 120583m and its surface is porous

The PGMA-EDMA microspheres and PGMA-EDMAMPS andPGMA-EDMAMIPs microspheres were characterized by ele-mental analysis The results of these measurements arelisted in Table 1 The elemental analysis reveals an increasein carbon content of PGMA-EDMAMPS to the startingmaterial PGMA-EDMA indicating a successful grafting ofMPS to the surface of the microspheres The data for thePGMA-EDMAMIPs indicates an increase in both nitrogenand carbon composition This increase in NC content isconsistent with the successful grafting of the cross-linkingagent EGDE to the surface of the microspheres

Table 2 shows the specific surface area pore volumeand average pore size of PGMA-EDMA PGMA-EDMAMIPsand PGMA-EDMANIPs from nitrogen adsorption-desorptionanalysis As can be seen from (Table 2) the specific surfacearea of PGMA-EDMAMIPs decreases markedly with respect toPGMA-EDMA which is due to the fact that PGMA-EDMAMIPsis based on PGMA-EDMA to prepare imprinted polymerPGMA-EDMAMIPs have larger specific surface area porevolume and average pore size than PGMA-EDMANIPs Theresults showed that the different adsorption properties of

PGMA-EDMAMIPs and PGMA-EDMANIPs could not only becompletely attributed to the difference in morphology butalso be related to the imprinting process that producedspecific recognition sites Larger pore volume and averagepore size provide complementary spatial structures for selec-tive recognition of template molecules and competitors withPGMA-EDMAMIPs

where Q and Qmax are the experimental adsorption capacityto the template ENR(mgg) and the theoretical maximumadsorption capacity of the polymer (mgg) respectively Ce isthe concentration of ENR in equilibrium in solution (mgL)after adsorption and Kd is the dissociation constant (mgL)

The Scatchard model was implemented on the adsorptionisotherm data of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs and PGMA-EDMANIPs and the Scatchard figure created by plotting Q againstQCe (Figure 5) The Scatchard analysis curve of thePGMA-EDMAMIPs consists of two lines with different slopeswhile the Scatchard analysis curve of the PGMA-EDMANIPsis in a straight line suggesting the fact that while thePGMA-EDMANIPs only has a single binding site for ENRPGMA-EDMAMIPs exhibits two distinct binding sites One ofthe binding sites of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs is a nonspecific

adsorption site similar to that in PGMA-EDMANIPs formed byhydrophobic hydrogen bonds and physical adsorption whilethe other is the high affinity specific recognition site createdby the imprinted hole The additional binding site of thePGMA-EDMAMIPs is responsible for the higher adsorptioncapacity and better selectivity of this system relative to thePGMA-EDMANIPs

The values of Kd and Qmax are calculated from the slopeand intercept of the linear segments in the Scatchard plotsrespectively The parameters defining PGMA-EDMAMIPswere obtained from the slope and intercept of Scatchardcurve and the results are shown in (Table 3)TheKd andQmaxvalues were similarly calculated for the PGMA-EDMANIPs tobe 226160 mgL and 5500 mgg respectively

Plots of the adsorption kinetics of the PGMA-EDMAMIPsin 2 mM solution of ENR are shown in Figure 6 A rapidadsorption of ENR by the PGMA-EDMAMIPs up to 905of the adsorption equilibrium is noted within the first5 min after which a significant decrease in the adsorp-tion rate occurs The adsorption equilibrium reached at6 min Conversely adsorption by the PGMA-EDMANIPswas slow within the first 3 min where the driving forceof adsorption has non-covalent interactions between ENR

and PGMA-EDMANIPs The enhanced binding of ENR byPGMA-EDMAMIPs is dependent on the interaction betweenENR and the imprinted holes of the PGMA-EDMAMIPsgenerated on the surface of microspheres during preparationFrom the kinetic data it is noted that the specific adsorptionby PGMA-EDMAMIPs occurs largely in the initial stage ofadsorption

The adsorption isotherm of ENR in the range of 0125-225 mM was obtained by static equilibrium adsorption Theabsorption curves showed in Figure 7 show that the adsorp-tion of PGMA-EDMAMIPs gradually increased with increasesin ENR concentration while rapid saturation was observedin the adsorption by PGMA-EDMANIPs Adsorption by thePGMA-EDMAMIPs was significantly greater than that ofPGMA-EDMANIPs at a given concentration The low adsorp-tion capacity of the PGMA-EDMANIPs was attributed to theweak interactions that form between the PGMA-EDMANIPsand substrate substrate binding interactions were derivedfrom the nonspecific adsorption of the polar groups on thePGMA-EDMANIPs surface to ENR In addition to nonspe-cific adsorption interactions PGMA-EDMAMIPs also con-tained holes matching the spatial structure and comple-menting the functional groups of ENR The holes in the

Table 2 shows the specific surface area pore volumeand average pore size of PGMA-EDMA PGMA-EDMAMIPsand PGMA-EDMANIPs from nitrogen adsorption-desorptionanalysis As can be seen from (Table 2) the specific surfacearea of PGMA-EDMAMIPs decreases markedly with respect toPGMA-EDMA which is due to the fact that PGMA-EDMAMIPsis based on PGMA-EDMA to prepare imprinted polymerPGMA-EDMAMIPs have larger specific surface area porevolume and average pore size than PGMA-EDMANIPs Theresults showed that the different adsorption properties of

PGMA-EDMAMIPs and PGMA-EDMANIPs could not only becompletely attributed to the difference in morphology butalso be related to the imprinting process that producedspecific recognition sites Larger pore volume and averagepore size provide complementary spatial structures for selec-tive recognition of template molecules and competitors withPGMA-EDMAMIPs

where Q and Qmax are the experimental adsorption capacityto the template ENR(mgg) and the theoretical maximumadsorption capacity of the polymer (mgg) respectively Ce isthe concentration of ENR in equilibrium in solution (mgL)after adsorption and Kd is the dissociation constant (mgL)

The Scatchard model was implemented on the adsorptionisotherm data of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs and PGMA-EDMANIPs and the Scatchard figure created by plotting Q againstQCe (Figure 5) The Scatchard analysis curve of thePGMA-EDMAMIPs consists of two lines with different slopeswhile the Scatchard analysis curve of the PGMA-EDMANIPsis in a straight line suggesting the fact that while thePGMA-EDMANIPs only has a single binding site for ENRPGMA-EDMAMIPs exhibits two distinct binding sites One ofthe binding sites of the PGMA-EDMAMIPs is a nonspecific

adsorption site similar to that in PGMA-EDMANIPs formed byhydrophobic hydrogen bonds and physical adsorption whilethe other is the high affinity specific recognition site createdby the imprinted hole The additional binding site of thePGMA-EDMAMIPs is responsible for the higher adsorptioncapacity and better selectivity of this system relative to thePGMA-EDMANIPs

The values of Kd and Qmax are calculated from the slopeand intercept of the linear segments in the Scatchard plotsrespectively The parameters defining PGMA-EDMAMIPswere obtained from the slope and intercept of Scatchardcurve and the results are shown in (Table 3)TheKd andQmaxvalues were similarly calculated for the PGMA-EDMANIPs tobe 226160 mgL and 5500 mgg respectively

Plots of the adsorption kinetics of the PGMA-EDMAMIPsin 2 mM solution of ENR are shown in Figure 6 A rapidadsorption of ENR by the PGMA-EDMAMIPs up to 905of the adsorption equilibrium is noted within the first5 min after which a significant decrease in the adsorp-tion rate occurs The adsorption equilibrium reached at6 min Conversely adsorption by the PGMA-EDMANIPswas slow within the first 3 min where the driving forceof adsorption has non-covalent interactions between ENR

and PGMA-EDMANIPs The enhanced binding of ENR byPGMA-EDMAMIPs is dependent on the interaction betweenENR and the imprinted holes of the PGMA-EDMAMIPsgenerated on the surface of microspheres during preparationFrom the kinetic data it is noted that the specific adsorptionby PGMA-EDMAMIPs occurs largely in the initial stage ofadsorption

The adsorption isotherm of ENR in the range of 0125-225 mM was obtained by static equilibrium adsorption Theabsorption curves showed in Figure 7 show that the adsorp-tion of PGMA-EDMAMIPs gradually increased with increasesin ENR concentration while rapid saturation was observedin the adsorption by PGMA-EDMANIPs Adsorption by thePGMA-EDMAMIPs was significantly greater than that ofPGMA-EDMANIPs at a given concentration The low adsorp-tion capacity of the PGMA-EDMANIPs was attributed to theweak interactions that form between the PGMA-EDMANIPsand substrate substrate binding interactions were derivedfrom the nonspecific adsorption of the polar groups on thePGMA-EDMANIPs surface to ENR In addition to nonspe-cific adsorption interactions PGMA-EDMAMIPs also con-tained holes matching the spatial structure and comple-menting the functional groups of ENR The holes in the

adsorption site similar to that in PGMA-EDMANIPs formed byhydrophobic hydrogen bonds and physical adsorption whilethe other is the high affinity specific recognition site createdby the imprinted hole The additional binding site of thePGMA-EDMAMIPs is responsible for the higher adsorptioncapacity and better selectivity of this system relative to thePGMA-EDMANIPs

The values of Kd and Qmax are calculated from the slopeand intercept of the linear segments in the Scatchard plotsrespectively The parameters defining PGMA-EDMAMIPswere obtained from the slope and intercept of Scatchardcurve and the results are shown in (Table 3)TheKd andQmaxvalues were similarly calculated for the PGMA-EDMANIPs tobe 226160 mgL and 5500 mgg respectively

Plots of the adsorption kinetics of the PGMA-EDMAMIPsin 2 mM solution of ENR are shown in Figure 6 A rapidadsorption of ENR by the PGMA-EDMAMIPs up to 905of the adsorption equilibrium is noted within the first5 min after which a significant decrease in the adsorp-tion rate occurs The adsorption equilibrium reached at6 min Conversely adsorption by the PGMA-EDMANIPswas slow within the first 3 min where the driving forceof adsorption has non-covalent interactions between ENR

and PGMA-EDMANIPs The enhanced binding of ENR byPGMA-EDMAMIPs is dependent on the interaction betweenENR and the imprinted holes of the PGMA-EDMAMIPsgenerated on the surface of microspheres during preparationFrom the kinetic data it is noted that the specific adsorptionby PGMA-EDMAMIPs occurs largely in the initial stage ofadsorption

The adsorption isotherm of ENR in the range of 0125-225 mM was obtained by static equilibrium adsorption Theabsorption curves showed in Figure 7 show that the adsorp-tion of PGMA-EDMAMIPs gradually increased with increasesin ENR concentration while rapid saturation was observedin the adsorption by PGMA-EDMANIPs Adsorption by thePGMA-EDMAMIPs was significantly greater than that ofPGMA-EDMANIPs at a given concentration The low adsorp-tion capacity of the PGMA-EDMANIPs was attributed to theweak interactions that form between the PGMA-EDMANIPsand substrate substrate binding interactions were derivedfrom the nonspecific adsorption of the polar groups on thePGMA-EDMANIPs surface to ENR In addition to nonspe-cific adsorption interactions PGMA-EDMAMIPs also con-tained holes matching the spatial structure and comple-menting the functional groups of ENR The holes in the

and eluting Using water (3 mL) as leachate effectivelyremoves the endogenous components of biological samplesas demonstrated in Figure 9 Following C18 extractionthe variance in the recovery of interfering substances wasattributed to the type of nonspecific interaction betweenthe different components in the sample matrix and the C18adsorbent such as the difference betweenhydrophobic versushydrophilic interactions In molecularly imprinted polymersolid-phase extraction (MISPE) the PGMA-EDMAMIPs hasbetter selectivity for the target substrate resulting in highrecovery and a purer extraction

A standard curve for ENR detection was establishedover the concentration range 1000sim9000 120583gL to yield anexpression of y=132741x+74035 and a correlation coefficientof R=09986 Milk samples were spiked with ENR standardsolutions with concentrations of 100 120583gL 200 120583gL and 500120583gL As demonstrated in Table 5 the rate of recovery ofthe ENR from these samples measured between 946 and1096 upon extraction with the PGMA-EDMAMIPs with arelative standard deviation (RSD) between 11 and 32 Theminimum limit of detection (LOD) was determined to be 10120583gL by tripling the signal-to-noise ratio (Table 6) summa-rizes the results of the existing reports on the detection ofENR in the milk samples by different types of ENR imprintedmaterials These results demonstrate a high recovery rate formethodology of this study
