摘要:
The invention relates to a method for the production of a template-textured material by synthesis of a template-textured polymer (TTP) by performing crosslinking polymerization of functional monomers on a support in the presence of a template, which method is characterized in that a support having a thin polymer layer on the surface thereof is added with a reaction mixture consisting of polymerization initiator, template, functional monomer, crosslinker, solvent and/or buffer and, following sorption of the reaction mixture in the thin polymer layer, the polymerization is initiated and continued until the absorption capacity of the thin polymer layer for the template-textured polymer (TTP) is reached, and the template is optionally removed in a final step, the support used being selected in such a way that it cannot absorb the reaction solution. The materials of the invention are remarkable for their high binding specificity and selectivity for the template.
摘要:
A polymer able to bind a target compound selectively is designed by producing a virtual library of polymerisable monomers, and molecular models of the target compound and one or more potential interferents. The library is screened to identify monomers with substantial differences in strengths of binding to (a) target and (b) interferent. Monomers favouring the target may be used to produce polymers for selectively binding the target, for use in separation or analytical processes.
