Facile construction of a novel metal-imprinted polymer surface without a polymerisation process
Abstract
Porous thin films have been prepared by casting water–THF mixed solutions of poly(vinyl chloride-co-acrylic acid): when Cu2+ ion is imprinted in the casting process, the film obtains a memory for the original Cu2+ ion. The imprinting processes can be closely monitored by FTIR spectroscopy.
