Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants widely produced and used in many countries until the increasing concern about their environmental risk lead to their ban in the 1980s. Although their emissions decreased, PCBs are nowadays still present in...

Synthesis of stationary phases that provide group recognition for polychlorinated biphenyls by porogenic fragment template imprinting.

Journal of separation science

Ndunda EN, Mizaikoff B.

J Sep Sci. 2016 Mar;39(5):939-46. doi: 10.1002/jssc.201500960. Epub 2016 Feb 08.

Molecular recognition based on imprinted polymers results from the polymerization of functional monomers and cross-linkers in the presence of a target analyte (i.e. template), with subsequent removal of the template to create synthetic binding sites. However, complete removal of...
