Abstract
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) of poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) and poly(Nisopropylacrylamide- co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) were synthesized for the first time in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2), using Boc-l-tryptophan as template. Supercritical fluid technology provides a clean and one-step synthetic route for the preparation of affinity polymeric materials with sensing capability for specific molecules. The polymeric materials were tested as stationary HPLC phases for the enantiomeric separation of l- and d-tryptophan. HPLC results prove that the synthesized MIPs are able to recognize the template molecule towards its enantiomer which opens up potential applications in chromatographic chiral separation.
