Issues occur when I'm fabricating molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). The selectivity of the polymer towards the target is very low or not at all. I am following the ratio of target: monomer: crosslinker, and every detailed step needed to produce a successful MIP follows a paper from a renowned journal. But I can't reproduce the MIPs as that paper did. Is there any hidden variable that's interfering?
Hello, I assume that or dispersity is not high or you did not remove the template rom the MIP
Dear all, please have a look at the following free access paper. My Regards

Removal of template is crucial in selectivity . Please check the FTIR spectra of successful presence of all the essential functional group. Check the spectra before and after removal.
