| dc.description.abstract | We report the investigation of electropolymerised molecularly imprinted polymers (E-MIPs) for the
determination of dioctyl phthalate (DOP). Low-cost and eco-friendly commercially available screenprinted electrodes (SPEs) were used. E-MIPs were produced using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique based on a water-soluble 4-aminophenol as functional monomer. E-MIPs for DOP showed affinity
for the template, with 80% binding efficiency and an imprinting factor of 3. The E-MIPs were able to
detect absolute levels of DOP in a time-dependent adsorption manner with the presence of 250 mg DOP
(equivalent to 12.8 mM) detected in 5 min with a LOD (at 15 min) of 177.1 mg and LOQ of 536.6 mg making
them suitable for the measurement of DOP in freshwater when the sample is pre-concentrated. | en_US |
