J. Matsui et al., 2-(TRIFLUOROMETHYL)ACRYLIC ACID - A NOVEL FUNCTIONAL MONOMER IN NONCOVALENT MOLECULAR IMPRINTING, Analytica chimica acta, 343(1-2), 1997, pp. 1-4
Molecular imprinting of nicotine was performed using an acidic functio
nal monomer 2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid (TFMAA). Chromatographic s
tudies using the resultant polymers as stationary phases displayed tha
t nicotine-selective affinity induced by the use of TFMAA was greater
than that induced by the use of a conventional functional monomer meth
acrylic acid.
