This work presents a novel approach for tailoring molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with a preliminary stage of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), for a more precise definition of the imprinted cavity. A well-defined copolymer of acrylamide and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (PAAm-co-PMBAm) was synthesized by ATRP and applied to gold electrodes with the template, followed by a crosslinking reaction. ...
Malaria is a major public health challenge worldwide and requires accurate and efficient diagnostic methods. Traditional diagnostic approaches based on antigen–antibody interactions are associated with ethical and economic concerns. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) offer a promising alternative by providing a complementary polymer structure capable of selectively binding target molecules. In this study, we...
