Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Membranes with Photoregulated Template Binding

Abstract

Selective, stable, molecularly imprinted polymer membranes having intrinsic photoresponsive properties were synthesized. The membranes selectively adsorbed dansylamide from solution. UV irradiation caused desorption of previously adsorbed dansylamide and visible light irradiation led to its re-adsorption.
