Hello,
I am preparing layer of polymer for selective detection of AgNPs on MIP principle. I find way to incorporate it in to a polymer but now I strugle to remove them without destruction of my polymer and having a stable cavities. My polymer is based on MAA.
Two options : find a reagent that will dissolve the AgNP without touching the polymer. This might be nitric acid or similar.
or - use a different NP to mimic the Ag, something more readily removed.
Dear all, as far as I know, MIP are designed to recognize targeted molecules and not nanoparticles. Nanoparticles are used sometimes as sacrificial support of targeted molecules. May be if you search for such ' sacrificial nanoparticles ' in MIP preparation, you will find how they are extracted. My Regards
