A portion of the PAA-HC1 amines sites were then neutralized for crosslinking by adding NaOH under stirring. The solution was allowed to stir continuously for 20 minutes before adding one of the three aforementioned crosslinkers. Upon addition of the cross-linker, the polymer solution was stirred until just before complete gelation, in order to maximize the homogeneity of the polymers.
  • the polymerizing solution was poured into a petri dish so that, upon gelation, the MIP hydrogel would set in the form of a slab. After gelation, the polymer was allowed to sit overnight to allow complete crosslinking. The polymer was then cut into 4mm squares and washed in 1 M aqueous NaOH solution for at least 24 hours to remove the GPS imprint. The polymers were repeatedly washed with de-ionized water to remove any remaining NaOH. Finally, the completely washed gels were dried under air in a 50° C oven.
  • Preliminary quantitative analyses were performed to ensure that the imprint binding and removal techniques were effective. In order to determine the effectiveness of the techniques it was necessary to establish an accurate, quantitative detection method for the imprint, GPS. By quantitative determination of total phosphorus concentration, GPS concentration could be calculated by simple molar equivalence. Total phosphorus concentration was determined spectrophotometrically, using a Hach D2010 spectrophotometer and Hach's method 8190.

  • Binding capacities of the hydrogels were determined via batch reactor studies.
  • the dried polymers were added to a 50 mg/mL aqueous solution of either glucose or fructose.
  • the 50 mg/mL concentration was intended to mimic the sugar concentration likely to be found in the stomach and duodenum after the consumption of a soft drink or sugary snack. This assumes a stomach volume of 1 liter and a consumption of 50 grams of sugar.

  • the imprint quantity given in the table are mole percents with respect to monomer units of the polymer.
  • the last polymer listed is a NIP and was used as a control sample to determine the effectiveness of the imprinting procedure.
  • Glucose binding in these MIPs was shown as high as 0.56 g of glucose per g of dried polymer gel. Data from similar studies with MIPs synthesized using EPI and GDE as the crosslinking agents are also shown.
  • Table 2 shows the glucose and fructose binding capacity in four different polymers crosslinked with EPI. Again, the first three MIPs in the table contain different amounts of imprint while the last is a NIP control. These polymers were capable of the highest degree of glucose binding at 0.58 g of glucose per g of dried MIP.
  • Table 3 is organized in the same fashion as the preceding tables and summarizes the glucose and fructose binding in the MIPs crosslinked with GDE.
  • Poly (allylamine hydrochloride) chains have an HC1 ionically associated with each of the side chain primary (NH 2 ) groups along the polymer chain backbone.
  • amine sites must be freed of the associated HC1.
  • imprinting no extra steps were necessary since the phosphate group of the GPS is highly negatively charged. This allows the GPS to displace the previously associated HC1 and bond to the amine itself.
  • crosslinking step a portion of the HC1 groups of the PAA-HC1 were neutralized with NaOH to provide free NH 2 sites for the crosslinking reactions.
  • the completion of this neutralization reaction can be monitored by temperature since the neutralization of the HC1 groups is an exothermic reaction. In other words, when the temperature of the mixture returns to the initial temperature, the reaction is complete. For total solution volumes of approximately 25 mL it was determined that 20 minutes is a sufficient reaction time for complete neutralization. For syntheses with total solution volumes of approximately 25 mL, the observed reaction times for complete gelation of EPI, EGDE. and GDE MIPs were 35, 8, and 6 minutes respectively. The differing gelation times are functions of the reaction kinetics and conversion required for gelation for each crosslinker. In order to remove the imprint molecule from the MIPs after crosslinking, it is necessary to break the ionic interaction between the GPS and the amine groups of the polymer. This was accomplished by washing the hydrogel in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide for at least 24 hours.
  • crosslinker is also key to forming a suitable imprint in a polymer network. Because of the relatively large amount ( 13 mole% with respect to monomer) of crosslinker used to synthesize these MIPs, the crosslinker must be in intimate contact with the imprint molecule in the MIP network. It is likely that the crosslinker plays a key role in establishing the shape and dimensions of the resulting cavities.
  • the glucose binding observed in the MIPs crosslinked with EGDE behaves as one would expect if the factors affecting MIP design discussed previously are considered. As the amount of imprint present during synthesis increases, so does the binding capacity of the MIPs. This increase in binding capacity is a result of an increase in the number of cavities through which glucose can "pass freely. " The first column of Table 1 clearly shows this trend. In addition to an increase in glucose binding with increasing imprint concentration, we also observed a decrease in the binding capacity of fructose. This trend is an indicator of specificity for glucose. Ideally, as the concentration of imprint increases, so does the number of cavities specific to glucose.
  • the concentration of the test solution should remain constant as both solvent and solute pass freely into the polymer network. This is analogous to simply removing a small volume of the test solution.
  • the test solution's solvent will be absorbed by the polymer while the solute is excluded. This will result in an eventual increase in the concentration of target molecule in the test solution.
  • the MIPs using EPI as a crosslinker were imprinted for glucose and so glucose was bound via appropriately shaped cavities.
  • MIPs and NIPs crosslinked with GDE do not follow either of the trends observed in the polymers crosslinked with EGDE or EPI.
  • Table 3 shows that as the concentration of imprint increases, both the glucose and fructose binding decrease. It is important to note that GDE crosslinked polymers had very poor mechanical stability when compared to the polymers produced by EGDE and EPI .
