UNIFORM-SIZE MACROPOROUS POLYMER-BASED STATIONARY-PHASE FOR HPLC PREPARED THROUGH MOLECULAR IMPRINTING TECHNIQUE

Uniform-size macroporous polymer-based stationary phase was prepared through molecular imprinting technique. Although the stationary phase was prepared by polymerization in an aqueous medium, template molecule was effectively imprinted onto the uniform-size macroporous polymer particles. The ability of chromatographic recognition toward the template molecule on the stationary phase was almost identical to that of the previously reported rod-type separation media 1) with larger capacity factor.
