Synthesis and characterization of meropenem imprinted polymer
Abstract
Meropenem imprinted polymer (M-MIP) has been successfully synthesized. It is prepared by using meropenem (MERP) as template and acrylamide as functional monomer. For comparison, non-imprinted polymer (NM-MIP) was synthesized in the absence of MERP. The synthesized polymers were then characterized by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). Extraction of template from polymer was conducted using soxhletation method and methanol-acetate acid (85:15) as the leaching solvent.. The prepared M-MIP showed higher adsorption capacity than the NM-MIP. Adsorption capacity of MIP and NIP were 4.8942 mg/g and 1.0078 mg/g respectively.
