Monodisperse magnetic ion imprinted polymeric microparticles prepared by RAFT polymerization based on γ-Fe₂O₃@meso-SiO₂nanospheres for selective solid-phase extraction of Cu(<scp>ii</scp>) in water samples

Abstract

Utilising a general protocol for making surface-imprinted core–shell microparticles<italic>via</italic>a RAFT-mediated approach, we developed a Cu(<sc>ii</sc>) imprinted polymer with a novel magnetic nanosphere, γ-Fe₂O₃@meso-SiO₂, as support.
